How do I convert a list of ascii values to a string in python?

I've got a list in a Python program that contains a series of numbers, which are themselves ASCII values. How do I convert this into a "regular" string that I can echo to the screen?

• You are probably looking for 'chr()':

  >>> L = [104, 101, 108, 108, 111, 44, 32, 119, 111, 114, 108, 100]
  >>> ''.join(chr(i) for i in L)
  'hello, world'

• l = [83, 84, 65, 67, 75]
  
  s = "".join([chr(c) for c in l])
  
  print s

• Same basic solution as others, but I personally prefer to use map instead of the list comprehension:

  
  >>> L = [104, 101, 108, 108, 111, 44, 32, 119, 111, 114, 108, 100]
  >>> ''.join(map(chr,L))
  'hello, world'

• import array
  def f7(list):
      return array.array('B', list).tostring()
