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

Trying to be pythonic:

>>> rgbstr='aabbcc'
>>> tuple(ord(c) for c in rgbstr.decode('hex'))
(170, 187, 204)
>>> tuple(map(ord, rgbstr.decode('hex'))
(170, 187, 204)

and

>>> rgb=(12,50,100)
>>> "".join(map(chr, rgb)).encode('hex')
'0c3264'
