ascii(object)

The ascii() function replaces non-printable characters with their corresponding ASCII values and returns them.

Parameters¶

The ascii() function takes one parameter:

• object: A Python list, set, tuple, etc.

Return Value¶

• Returns a string representation of object with non-ASCII characters escaped.

Similar to repr(), it returns a string representation of object, but it escapes non-ASCII characters returned by repr() using \x, \u, or \U.

Examples¶

value = 'mr. Иванов'
repr(value)  # 'mr. Иванов'
ascii(value)  # 'mr. \u0418\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432'
