import string

the_integer = string.atoi(thestring, 16)


That's assuming the string is something like, say, '2a3b',
just hex digits.  If it starts with a '0x' before the hex
digits, then passing a 'base' of 0 to string.atoi is one
possibility (it means: look at the number-syntax to find
out the real base, 10, 8, or 16).
