Well, it thinks the length of the testValue is longer than 2.
Why not print out len(testValue) immediately after calling raw_input?
maybe raw_input doesn't recognize hex-values automatically, while a
string='\x??' is recognizable by the interpreter as such.

obviously the issue is raw_input and how it handles input strings... how to
fix?  no idea =)
