How to create python bytes object from long hex string?
Works in Python 2.7 and higher including python3:
result = bytearray.fromhex('deadbeef')Note: There seems to be a bug with the bytearray.fromhex() function in Python 2.6. The python.org documentation states that the function accepts a string as an argument, but when applied, the following error is thrown:
>>> bytearray.fromhex('B9 01EF')Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>TypeError: fromhex() argument 1 must be unicode, not str`
