Typically strings should be unicode. If the byte sequence is Latin-1
(including ASCII), you can map unichr() and join the characters with
u''.join(); that's equivalent to chr() and ''.join() in 3.x. More
generally, decode() the byte string. A simply way that works in 2.6+
is to create a bytearray:
>>> bytearray(ssid).decode('latin-1')
u'BigPond679D85'
Nice!
But, what makes you think that the encoding will be latin-1? If I had to guess
an encoding, I'd guess UTF-8.
