Turning Chr() Around.

I need my application to have something that works like Asc() does in VB6. This is the exact opposite of Chr(). Instead of using chr() to get me the number of a certain character(s), I need something like Asc() to give me back the numbers instead of the character(s).

Use the ord() function, or define your own asc function.
Code:
def asc(c):
     return ord(c)

print asc('A')

If you want to create copies/aliases to built-in functions/modules/classes using custom names the simplest way to do it is to assign the object to a variable i.e.

Code:
>>> someChar = chr(97)
>>> someChar
'a'
>>> asc = ord
>>> ord(someChar)
97
>>> asc(someChar)
97
>>> 


Mark.
