[Tutor] Hex to Str - still an open issue

[Bill Mill]

Tamm,

Try searching before you get snippy on a group where people are
helping you for free. This question gets asked a lot, and the answer
can be found all over the place.

A particularly comprehensive thread discussing the issue can be found
at http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/bdd85f1d1298a191
.

Peace
