[issue26506] hex() documentation: mention "%x" % int

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

For 3.5 and 2.7, I'd suggest:
format(value, 'x')
or:
format(value, 'X')

Although you might disagree because of the verbosity. But at least you're not parsing a string at runtime. 

And for 3.6 with PEP-498:
f'{value:x}'

There are of course options for padding and adding the '0x', as well.
