Format ints into string of hex

Question

I need to create a string of hex digits from a list of random integers (0-255). Each hex digit should be represented by two characters: 5 - \"05\", 16 - \"10\", etc.

Answer 1

a = [0,1,2,3,127,200,255]
print str.join("", ("%02x" % i for i in a))

prints

000102037fc8ff

(Also note that your code will fail for integers in the range from 10 to 15.)
