You appear to have answered your own question below.
What exactly is the problem?

FAILS
----------
>>> value = 1234567890
>>> hexoutput = hex('%d' % (value))

WORKS
-------------
>>> hexoutput = hex(1234567890)

Are you trying to insert a hex representation of the number into a 
string for printing? If so the easiest way is using string format 
characters:

>>> print "In hex: %d = %X" % (42,42)
In hex: 42 = 2A
