Python equivalent of php pack

Question

I have this statement below in php to convert hex string to binary .

$m=pack("H*" , "A88BE9L98990........");

I need to do the same in another python program ?

Any Ideas ?

Answer 1

The binascii module has binascii.unhexlify(hexstr) , which does what you want.

>>> import binascii
>>> binascii.unhexlify("A88BE9L98990")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Non-hexadecimal digit found
# Not sure why there's an L in there... take it out...
>>> binascii.unhexlify("A88BE9989900")
'\xa8\x8b\xe9\x98\x99\x00'
