How to use hex() without 0x in Python?

Question

The hex() function in python, puts the leading characters 0x in front of the number. Is there anyway to tell it NOT to put them? So 0xfa230

Answer 1

Use this code:

'{:x}'.format(int(line))

it allows you to specify a number of digits too:

'{:06x}'.format(123)
# '00007b'

For Python 2.6 use

'{0:x}'.format(int(line))

or

'{0:06x}'.format(int(line))
