Hexadecimal Conversion in Python

[DaBeef]

I have been coding for 5 years.  This is a proprietary protocol, so it
is difficult converting.  I did this in java but was just able to
convert a stream.  I looked through the Python library, I am more or
less getting backa  string represented as a "...."   So now I want to
convert it to all the hexa, bin until I see a match and can then work
teh rest of my program
