Python - need help with 'chr' built in function

[TechFnatic]

 

So I have this keylogger which is supposed to take the event.Ascii value which is an integer and translate that into a character by using the chr function and then write it into a file. Well it's writing the file but not as I expect, I'm getting these weird symbols instead... you can see the output below:

PS I've simplified the code for viewing / testing purposes, I took out the file read / write part to narrow down the problem.

Thanks!

Probably a translation error, the integer should be the decimal that correlates with the hex character, e.g.,

 

>>> letter
'A'
>>> ord(letter)
65
>>> chr(65)
'A'

 

so if the ints you're running chr() on aren't in the range of 65-125, then that's probably why

I'd say, on line 7 you should have

keylog = chr(event.Ascii)

Yeah that makes sense, but why wouldn't my keyboard input produce an integer value between 65-125, I mean realistically it should since were basically translating it from its Ascii input to it's corresponding character.

No luck

OK, after further testing it turns out you're right, my Ascii values are not correct for some reason and they do not fall in between the 65-125 range... do you have any idea why this might be?
