In Python 2, the regular string type (str) is a byte vector, though it
is immutable.  Do you send one scan line at a time to the rendering
device, or the whole file all at once, or what?  Do you want to dump the
output to a disk file and send that to the rendering device as a
separate step?  Anyway, use the chr function to turn a number like 65
into a character like 'A'.
