It is not true - eg. try :
a='P'            # P is ASCII , isn't it ?
b=int(a)
and what you will get ? An error !!!

Or probably you yourself should - quote :

int() converts a strings that is a valid intenter.  What you're looking for
is ord().

Possibly. Perhaps the OP wants the position of 'P'
in the alphabet, in which case he wants b=64-ord(a)
or b=16.


In [1]: ord('d')
Out[1]: 100

In [2]: a='P'

In [3]: b=ord(a)

In [4]: b
Out[4]: 80

j
