When I run this:
>>> type(hex(12))
<type 'str'>
I get a string type back, i.e, '0xC' not 0xC
On the other hand, if I use 0x with data, Python understands it is hex data and
not a string value.
>>> e = 0xCD
>>> type(e)
<type 'int'>
Why does the Hex builtin function in Python return a string ? How can I
convert this string returned by hex builtin function to data with 0x prefixed ?
Am I missing anything ? Is there a builtin in Python (I'm using Python 2.5)
that does this conversion from int to hex without returning a string value?
It is a bit confusing.
Thanks
Ramses
