I think you can use chr() and ord() to switch between ascii characters =
and their numbers.
>>>chr(35)
'#'
>>>ord('#')
35
>>>chr(33)
'!'
>>>ord('!')
33

  Hi all,
  =20
  How do you clear the screen?  Is there a command like in C++ to clear =
the screen in Python?  Also is there a function for turning numbers and =
letters into ASCII?  I have been going through the modules without much =
luck.

  Thanks for any help,
  Cameron Stoner
