[issue7028] hex function should work with floats

[Josh Cogliati]

Thank you for telling me about that function.  I read the documentation
on hex() and never realized that there was a second instance method
float.hex().  

I am curious why the proper way to turn a number into hex is the following:
import types

def to_hex(a):
    if type(a) == type(0.0):
        return a.hex()
    elif type(a) == type(1):
        return hex(a)
    else:
        raise TypeError('Must be int or float')



As in why does neither int.hex() or hex(float) work?

Thank you.
