So, if that's what you want, you could further do this: >>> chars = list(s) >>> chars ['T', 'h', 'i', 's', ' ', 'i', 's', ' ', 'a', ' ', 's', 't', 'r', 'i', 'n', 'g', '.'] >>> ords = map(ord, chars) >>> ords [84, 104, 105, 115, 32, 105, 115, 32, 97, 32, 115, 116, 114, 105, 110, 103, 46] >>> -- Sheila King [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.thinkspot.net/sheila/ _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
