[Tutor] hexadecimal to decimal

[Philippe Strauss]

Dear Python Tutor :^)
I need to convert some number represented by hexadecimal STRINGS
to decimal integers (then strings again, btw).


Python 2.2.1 (#1, Apr 21 2002, 08:38:44)
[GCC 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print int(0xe7)
231

ok.

>>> print int(0x00)
0

ok.

>>> print int('1')
1

ok.

>>> print int('0xe7')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 0xe7
>>>

ko.
what's the trick?

thanks in advance.
