Convert list of ASCII codes to string (byte array) in Python

by

For Python 2.6 and later if you are dealing with bytes then a bytearray is the most obvious choice:

>>> str(bytearray([17, 24, 121, 1, 12, 222, 34, 76]))
'\x11\x18y\x01\x0c\xde"L'

To me this is even more direct than Alex Martelli’s answer – still no string manipulation or len call but now you don’t even need to import anything!
