But it's used consistently in Python, e.g., that's where the name of the builtin ord function comes from! >>> print ord.__doc__ ord(c) -> integer Return the integer ordinal of a one character string. >>> > ... > how about an "ordinal number"? that is, "a number designating the > place (as first, second, or third) occupied by an item in an > ordered sequence". Exactly. Each character has an arbitrary but fixed position in an arbitrary but ordered sequence of all characters. This isn't hard. > wouldn't "character" be easier to grok for mere mortals? Doubt it -- they're already confused about the need to distinguish between a character and its encoding, and the *character* is most certainly not "in" or "out" of any range of integers. > ...and isn't "range(128)" overly cute? Yes. > UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: character not in range 0-127 As above, it makes no sense. How about compromising on > UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ord(character) > 127 ?
