So just for completion, the solution is:

chr(ord('a') + 1)
'b'

thanks :) I'm a beginner and I was expecting this to be a member of string so I couldnt find it anywhere in the docs.

And that's a very reasonable place to search; I think chr and ord are builtin functions (and not str methods) just by an historical accident. (Or is there any other reason? what's wrong with "a".ord() or str.from_ordinal(65))?
