[New-bugs-announce] [issue20279] bytearray.fromhex does not work with some hexes generated by hex

[Anatoly Belikov]

New submission from Anatoly Belikov:

bytearray.fromhex(hex(434)[2:]) 

throws ValueError: non-hexadecimal number found in fromhex() arg at position 2

Strangely it works with leading zero:

bytearray.fromhex('0' + hex(438)[2:])
