title: How to check if a string in Python is in ASCII?
body: <p>I want to I check whether a string is in ASCII or not.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware of <code>ord()</code>, however when I try <code>ord('é')</code>, I have <code>TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 2 found</code>. I understood it is caused by the way I built Python (as explained in <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#ord" rel="noreferrer"><code>ord()</code>'s documentation</a>). </p>
  
  <p>Is there another way to check?</p>
