In Python, how can I represent an integer value (<256) as a string? For example:
i = 10
How can I create a string "s" that is one-byte long, and the byte has the value 10?
to clarify, I do not want a string "10". I want a string that its 1st (and only) byte has the value of 10.
by the way, I cannot create the string statically:
s = '\x0A'
because the value is not pre-defined. It is a dynamic number value.
You can use chr() function as:
>>> chr(60)
'<'
>>> chr(97)
'a'
>>> chr(67)
'C'
To convert back use ord() funtion as:
>>> ord('C')
67
In Python 2.x, you want:
s = chr(10)
In Python 3.x, strings are Unicode, so you want:
s = bytes([10])
'\x0A', not b'\x0A'. It is not clear what version they are using, in any case.why don't you just use chr?
chr(10)
Out[41]: '\n'
chr(255)
Out[42]: '\xff'
Found another answer using struct module working for Python 2:
import struct struct.pack('B', i)
'\xA'is a syntax error, presumably you meant'\x0A'.
