An easier version and IMO more true to what's actually going on: >>> bytes.fromhex('53414e544120414e442048495320574f524b53484f50') b'SANTA AND HIS WORKSHOP'

- manthideaal 7y agoThanks, nice. bytes.fromhex is really reading bytes from a hex string, so perhaps a better name should be bytes.fromhexstring, but since python names are short I understand the trade-off. Also, my first impression is that hex should be called bytes.tohexstring, but for those using python daily I understand the need of shorter names.
