python - Weird result with struct.pack? -

while messing around struct.pack() , socket.htons(), got results not make sense me...

>>> struct.pack("h", socket.htons(80)) '\x00p' >>> struct.pack("h", socket.htons(81)) '\x00q' >>> struct.pack("h", socket.htons(82)) '\x00r' 

where p, q , r come , mean? can't find them in docs.

ascii codes p, q, r 80, 81, 82.

>>> ord('p') 80 

in interactive shell, printable characters printed themselves, instead of escaped using \xhh format.

>>> hex(80) '0x50' >>> '\x50' 'p' >>> '\xff' '\xff'
