Just curious *Maybe* for aesthetical reasons. I find ord(c) more pleasent for the eye. YMMV. The biggest ugliness though is ",".join(). No idea why this should be better than join(list, separator=" "). Besides, ",".join(u"x") yields an unicode object. This is confusing (but will probably go away with Python 3).
