Use python string as byte

Question

I have the byte representation of a character in a string, let's say the character is 'H', which has the byte value of 72. My string is therefore "72".

How do I go about converting this string ("72") into its corresponding character value ('H') based on the byte value (72) represented in my string using python 3.6?

Psuedo code:

str = 72
print(decode_as_byte_value(str))

Expected result:

ord('H')
chr(72)

Its as simple as that. Remember that chr() only takes int and ord() only takes str

Please do not use this community for such Syntex based questions.

Still your ans is:

# Get the ASCII number of a character 
number = ord(char)

# Get the character given by an ASCII number
char = chr(number)
