You can use the int() type converter:

 >>> int(0x16)
22
 >>> int(0x02B38E40)
45321792


But there is little point since the hex number is a
memory address that means nothing to you as a programmer
since you can't change it, or do anything useful with it.

You can do that without any use of hex.
Just use blank.x and blank.y like any other variable.
