I assume you know what its supposed to represent?
What the columns etc are intended to be?
Otherwise it will be a challenge!

In general, you can't unless you know the encoding. A file filled with
arbitrary bytes could be anything.
However, you can sometimes guess the encoding, either b

Hi, all;

There is no need to use eval() here. Since the expected values are
integers, just use int():
In [6]: chr(int('65'))

What input is dec() expecting? As I read it

In this textbook example, the "code" is simple a string of the
ASCII characters' numeric values. Nothing fancy.

I receive this error when executing a file:
"Non-ASCII character '\x8b' in file task.py on line 1, but no encoding
declared".
Can anybody tell me what the encoding is supposed to look like and is it
standard on all files that is trying to use Non-ASCII characters?
Thanks,
Johan
