python 3 - ord expected a character

def toNumbers(strList):
    sum = 0
    strList[:]= (ord(ch)-96 for ch in strList)
    print(strList)


def main():
    print("Modifies each entry in the list by converting it to a number.")
    strList = [ "dd", "t", "c"]
    nums= toNumbers(strList)
main()

I get an error : ord expected a character. I think this is something to do with my for loop. Any assistance on this would be great.

You really should read your error messages a little more carefully. What it actually said was 

TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 2 found

And your string of length 2 is "dd".
