Hello,

I'm not a Tutor but I found this wich could help you:

 To convert character data to integers, you can use the ord()
> function, and to convert a number to hex notation you can use the
> hex() function.

> Example:
> 
> >>>* data =3D "hello"
> *>>>* for char in data:
> *>>>*     print hex(ord(char))
> *
> Note that hex() returns a string, not a number.
