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 :

Why? There's nothing wrong there.

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

You really don't see any difference between
"convert '1' to an integer" and "convert 'P' to an integer"?

In case there's actually a problem you're trying to solve
here, try ord instead of int.

Or probably you yourself should - quote :

'P' is obviously not an ASCII representation of a number.
What did you expect? The closest number by visual appearance?

It is in base 36.

>>a='P'
>>b=int(a,36)
>>b

25

Sure, but if that was the OP's intent he would most likely have
mentioned it...

As others have already guessed, it's most likely somethink like ord() he
was after.
