How to get the ASCII value of a character

From here:

The function ord() gets the int value of the char. And in case you want to convert back after playing with the number, function chr() does the trick.

>>> ord('a')
97
>>> chr(97)
'a'
>>> chr(ord('a') + 3)
'd'
>>>

In Python 2, there was also the unichr function, returning the Unicode character whose ordinal is the unichr argument:

>>> unichr(97)
u'a'
>>> unichr(1234)
u'\u04d2'

In Python 3 you can use chr instead of unichr.

ord() - Python 3.6.5rc1 documentation

ord() - Python 2.7.14 documentation

Note that ord() doesn't give you the ASCII value per se; it gives you the numeric value of the character in whatever encoding it's in. Therefore the result of ord('ä') can be 228 if you're using Latin-1, or it can raise a TypeError if you're using UTF-8. It can even return the Unicode codepoint instead if you pass it a unicode:

>>> ord(u'あ')
12354

ord()

To get the ASCII code of a character, you can use the ord() function.

Here is an example code:

value = input("Your value here: ")
list=[ord(ch) for ch in value]
print(list)

Output:

Your value here: qwerty
[113, 119, 101, 114, 116, 121]
