bytes.hex

builtins

method of bytes · Added in 3.5

bytes.hex(*, bytes_per_sep=1)
bytes.hex(sep, bytes_per_sep=1)

Create a string of hexadecimal numbers from a bytes object.

  sep
    An optional single character or byte to separate hex bytes.
  bytes_per_sep
    How many bytes between separators.  Positive values count from
    the right, negative values count from the left.

Example:
>>> value = b'\xb9\x01\xef'
>>> value.hex()
'b901ef'
>>> value.hex(':')
'b9:01:ef'
>>> value.hex(':', 2)
'b9:01ef'
>>> value.hex(':', -2)
'b901:ef'
