I want to convert a ASCII code back to a character under python 3, not Unicode. How can I do that? Dorian Like a lot of things, it depends on why you're asking what you are. Characters are in Unicode on Python 3.x, by definition. That's not a problem, it's a feature. Such a character is 16 bits, and if it's an ASCII value, the bottom 7 bits exactly match ASCII, and the remaining ones are zero. However, sometimes you don't really want strings of characters, you want an array of 8 bit values, and you're used to the equivalence that earlier versions of Python give you. In those cases, sometimes a string (Unicode) works transparently, and sometimes you really want a byte array. Simplest example is when you're calling a DLL written in another language. The types bytes and bytearray are considered sequences of integers (each of range 0 to 255), rather than characters. And there are ways to convert back and forth between those and real strings.
