What exactly do you want to achieve? I suspect its not what you asked!
To convert the character whose hex value of F0 to an integer value of F0
you can use ord() (or just reinterpret the character as a string using the struct module).
ord('\xf0')
240 To display the hex value of a character as a hex string you can use string formatting or the hex() function:
c = '\xF0' "0x%x" % ord(c)
'0xf0'
"0x%X" % ord(c)
'0xF0'
hex(ord(c))
'0xf0' Remember that the representation of a number is always a string. The value of a number is always binary and can be represented in any base with the default in Python being decimal.
