ascii()
ascii() is a Python function in the Built-in Functions category. Returns a string with non-ASCII characters escaped using \x, \u, or \U. The syntax is ascii(object). Parameters: object — any Python object. Returns: ASCII-safe string. A typical example: ascii("héllo") # "'h\xe9llo'"
ascii(123) # "123". A close sibling is print(), which prints objects to the text stream, separated by `sep` and followed by `end`. A close sibling is len(), which returns the length (number of items) of an object. Works with sequences, collections, and strings. A close sibling is range(), which returns an immutable sequence of numbers. Commonly used in for loops. A close sibling is type(), which returns the type of an object, or creates a new type with three arguments.
