Print a string as hexadecimal bytes
I have this string: Hello, World! and I want to print it using Python as '48:65:6c:6c:6f:2c:20:57:6f:72:6c:64:21'.
hex() works only for integers.
How can it be done?
Solution 1:
You can transform your string to an integer generator. Apply hexadecimal formatting for each element and intercalate with a separator:
>>> s = "Hello, World!"
>>> ":".join("{:02x}".format(ord(c)) for c in s)
'48:65:6c:6c:6f:2c:20:57:6f:72:6c:64:21
Solution 2:
':'.join(x.encode('hex') for x in 'Hello, World!')
