Convert string to ASCII value python

Question

How would you convert a string to ASCII values?

For example, "hi" would return [104 105].

I can individually do ord('h') and ord('i'), but it's going to be troublesome when there are a lot of letters.

Answer 1

You can use a list comprehension:

>>> s = 'hi'
>>> [ord(c) for c in s]
[104, 105]
