# build a dictionary that maps the ordinals from 32 to 255
# to their ASCII character equivalents eg. 33: '!'
# (note that 32 and 160 are spaces)

import operator
print "ASCII values of characters:"
print '-'*27 # print 27 dashes, cosmetic
# create an empty dictionary
charD = {}
# set keys from 32 to 255
keyList = range(32, 256)
# use map() to create the character list
# applies function chr() to every item of the list
valueList = map(chr, keyList)
# use map() to form a dictionary from the two lists
map(operator.setitem, [charD]*len(keyList), keyList, valueList)
print "%6s%6s%6s" % ("hex", "dec", "char")
# print the dictionary one associated pair each line
for key,value in charD.items():
