ASCII predated Python by some 40 years.  So any reference that is 
accurate would do.  But you can make your own table quite trivially with 
a simple loop:

for ordinal in range(ord(" "), 128):
     print ordinal, "-", chr(ordinal)

ASCII codes below " " are control codes, such as newline and tab.
ASCII is a 7-bit code, so the highest value is 127.
