If I understand Nick correctly, the situation is as follows:
>>> z = "\xf7"
And see that:
>>> type(z)
<type 'string'>
>>> print z
�
>>> print "%c" % z
�
>>> print "%d" % z
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: an integer is required
>>> print "%x" % z
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: an integer is required
>>> print "%d" % ord(z)
247
>>> print "%c" % ord(z)
�
>>> print "%x" % ord(z)
f7
