[Tutor] question about ord

[Liam Clarke-Hutchinson]

Hmm, 

Never thought of doing it that way.

try - 

import struct

a = theByte
value = ord(a)
theByteReloaded = struct.pack("i",value)

You nmay want to check the docs for the struct module at python.org on that
pattern.

Subject: [Tutor] question about ord


Hey there,
	i am using a script to change a byte into an integer
like this:
	a = the byte
	value = ord(a)

but i cant find the operation that can change it back to a byte. i am sure
its easy, but i am missing how to do it.

thanks for any tips

sk
