Ooooo! I LOVE crocodiles especially the crocodile-tears variety The title says get ASCII value; the first line of the writeup says ASCII or Unicode. If python were to do more than lip service to REALLY being a unicode age language why are things like this out of bounds even for discussion? http://blog.languager.org/2014/04/unicoded-python.html Note: Please make a distinction between - Any ONE of these suggestions; none of which need to be taken too seriously individually And - The simple barefaced fact that not a single lexeme from python3 apart from comments and identifiers allow elements from the set Unicode - ASCII. Of which comments are arguably not in the language And uncode identifiers are an opened pandora box with bigger disadvantages than advantages -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
