Hi,
is there any reason why ord() raises a TypeError instead of ValueError on string/bytes input with wrong length?
The chr() function will raise a ValueError on negative integers such as chr(-1).
Required behaviour:
try:
 n = ord(input_string)
except ValueError as e:
 # it's a string/bytes-string, process potential escape sequence and
 # get an ordinal number of decoded escape sequence, otherwise raise
 ...
with kind regards,
Chris
