I'm pretty sure you don;t need that, you only need the integer values of 
the hex strings. You can then write those integers directly to your 
controller. Assuming I'm right this should work (Python v2.7):

 >>> s = '0xFE, 0x01, 0x01, 0x22, 0xFE, 0x02'
 >>> [int(h,16) for h in s.split(',')]
[254, 1, 1, 34, 254, 2]
 >>>
