> Note: Ezio, do you prefer format(value, 'x') for '{:x}'.format(value)?
While formatting a single value the former is better/shorter, but the latter is perhaps more common since you usually have something else in the string too.
The latter can also be used to do something like:
>>> '{num:x} {num:X} {num:#x} {num:#X}'.format(num=255)
'ff FF 0xff 0XFF'
