List of ints to string

I have a list of ints:

(83, 105, 101, 109, 101, 110, 115)

which I believe codes for Siemens.

How can I convert this list to a string in a pythonic way?

I know I can get the individual chars with chr(x) and concatenate them but that doesn't seem the best way.

Using bytes (or str) and bytearray:

>>> bytes(bytearray((83, 105, 101, 109, 101, 110, 115)))
'Siemens'

In Python 3.x:

>>> bytes((83, 105, 101, 109, 101, 110, 115)).decode()
'Siemens'

t = (83, 105, 101, 109, 101, 110, 115)
print "".join(map(chr,t))
Siemens

For every number in the data, apply chr function to get the corresponding character and then concatenate all the characters together to get the actual string, like this

print "".join(chr(item) for item in (83, 105, 101, 109, 101, 110, 115))
# Siemens
