Hi, I assume that this is a FAQ-question, but I didn't find a solution.

I have a string '0xff00ff' and I want to store it as a hex-number not 
string.

Is that possible? I know that I can write to Python shell hexnumbers
like:
> a = 0xff00ff
> a
16711953
> hex(a)
> '0xff00ff'

What's the trick?
(I think it should not be possible as hex-is only a representation of 
integer-object.

Second question.

Has anyone ran in to the problem above when using Python interface to 
GDCChart?
