This specific one is easy, though this doesn't generalize:

import string
print string.lowercase + string.uppercase

For the general case, there's no way to avoid calling chr and ord,
because a string in Python doesn't have a "natural successor". So the
only issue is how you prefer to hide those calls &c (in some class or
function) and you already received suggestions on that.
