So just for completion, the solution is:
'b'chr(ord('a') + 1)
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))?
Not a reason, but doesn't ord() word with unicode as well?
Yes, so ord() could be an instance method of both str and unicode, like upper(), strip(), and all of them...
And str.from_ordinal(n)==chr(n), unicode.from_ordinal(n)==unichr(n)
