There may be some ways. Here is the data:
from random import randint
vals = [randint(0, 255) for i in xrange(10)]
This is probably the most common way:
print "".join(chr(c) for c in vals)
If you need to access the chars one after the other, this may be a
(quite slower, but less memory consuming) alternative:
import sys
write = sys.stdout.write
for c in vals:
write(chr(c))
print
In some cases a solution like this one can be useful too:
import array
print array.array("B", vals).tostring()
