With numpy, something like the following: >>> from numpy import * >>> y = [116, 114, 121, 32, 116, 104, 105, 115] >>> a = array(y, dtype=uint8) >>> z = a.tostring() >>> z 'try this' -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
