Try this:

data = [ord(x) for x in f.read(4)]

Note that it won't print out in hexadecimal.

>>> [0x10, 0x20, 0x12, 0x01]
[16, 32, 18, 1]

If you insist on that, try a subclass of int:

class ord(int):
    ord = ord
    def __new__(cls, x):
        return super().__new__(cls, cls.ord(x))
    def __repr__(self): return hex(self)

Then they'll come out in hex.
