For loop doesn't print last substring

I want to make a program which replaces a series of ascii codes to a string. Example input:

strin1 = "65 66 67 68 69"

But every time I run the program the result of the last ascii number is not produced. It just displays (note the missing 69):

65
66
67
68

This is my code:

cyfry = str(raw_input("put numbers here: "))
str = ""
length1 =  len(cyfry)

for a in range(0,length1,1):
   if (cyfry[a] != " "):
      str += cyfry[a]
   else:
      print str
      str = ""

Why is not the last substring not printed?

Your code only prints something when it arrives at a space. As your input does not end in a space, it does not print what str contains when you reach the end of the input.

A simple solution is to add print str at the very end of your program (outside of the loop).

Note that you can use cyfry.split(" ") to get the "words" into a list. And then you can use int() to convert such a word into an integer. chr() can be used to get the character for that numerical code. Finally, you can join those individual characters to a new string with ''.join():

cyfry = raw_input("put numbers here: ")

str = ''.join([chr(int(ch)) for ch in cyfry.split(" ")])
print str
