That will give you the numbers 0..255
ord() is simply the inverse of chr()
so that
x == ord(chr(x))

The same as you did for chr(), use a loop:
S = [chr(x) for x in range (0,256)]
for x in S:
print ord(x),
But it will simply print out the list of numbers from 0..255.
Do you have a purpose in mind or are you simply wanting to
observe chr() and ord() in action?
