Read (little endian) hex pair that represents a byte in python

What is the right way of reading my hexstring = '40040000' by "little endian" way in python. The result I am expecting is 440h.

Not sure what format you want the result to be in. You could use struct and binascii together to convert it to an int. 

>>> struct.unpack('<L', binascii.unhexlify('40040000'))
(1088,)

Which is the same as 440h:

>>> hex(struct.unpack('<L', binascii.unhexlify('40040000'))[0])
'0x440'
