Python 3.1.1 string to hex

Question

I am trying to use str.encode() but I get

>>> \"hello\".encode(hex)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"\", line 1         


        

Answer 1

The hex codec has been chucked in 3.x. Use binascii instead:

>>> binascii.hexlify(b'hello')
b'68656c6c6f'
