How do I convert a hex triplet to an RGB tuple and back?

Question

I\'d like to convert a hex triplet to an RGB tuple and then convert a tuple to a hex triplet.

Answer 1

>>> import struct
>>> rgbstr='aabbcc'
>>> struct.unpack('BBB',rgbstr.decode('hex'))
(170, 187, 204)

and

>>> rgb = (50,100,150)
>>> struct.pack('BBB',*rgb).encode('hex')
'326496'
