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

Yet another method:

s = 'hello'

h = ''.join([hex(ord(i)) for i in s]);

# outputs: '0x680x650x6c0x6c0x6f'

This basically splits the string into chars, does the conversion through hex(ord(char)), and joins the chars back together. In case you want the result without the prefix 0x then do:

h = ''.join([str(hex(ord(i)))[2:4] for i in s]);

# outputs: '68656c6c6f'

Tested with Python 3.5.3.
