FAQ
Slamming my head against what should be an easy problem:

How do I send a byte across an open, connected socket?

Do I have to implement my own type that implements some method a string
normally does?

Or is there some hidden encoding that will let me turn a byte into a
string?

This is surely a simple question for anyone who remembers the answer.

Thanks so much,
Dan

    chr(byte)

    A one character string is a byte...

    byteString = chr(byte)

    byteString = chr(byte)
    Calculating and sending single bytes at a time is probably unnecessarily
    painful, though. It wouldn't surprise me if the original poster finds that
    the struct module makes their life much easier:
