The inverse of "ord" is "chr":

  % python
  Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Jan  5 2007, 00:12:45) 
  [GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> ord('i')
  105
  >>> chr(105)
  'i'
  >>>

IIRC, the first use of the names "ord" and "chr" for these functions
appeared in the Basic language in the 1960's ... in case anyone is
interested in this bit of historical trivia.
