How to write a raw hex byte to stdout in Python 3?

Question

How do you get Python 3 to output raw hexadecimal byte? I want to output the hex 0xAA.

If I use print(0xAA), I get the ASCII \'170\'.

Answer 1

The solution was to first create a bytes object:

x = bytes.fromhex('AA')

And then output this to stdout using the buffered writer

sys.stdout.buffer.write(x)
