Print a variable in hexadecimal in Python

Question

I\'m trying to find a way to print a string in hexadecimal. For example, I have this string which I then convert to its hexadecimal value.

my_string = \"deadbeef         


        

Answer 1

Convert the string to an integer base 16 then to hexadecimal.

print hex(int(string, base=16))

These are built-in functions.

http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#int

Example

>>> string = 'AA'
>>> _int = int(string, base=16)
>>> _hex = hex(_int)
>>> print _int
170
>>> print _hex
0xaa
>>>
