Python character to keyboard hex

Question

I would like to know how to change a keyboard key's character to it's hex value. For example:

Key A: 0x41

Key B: 0x42

Key P: 0x80

Key Z: 0x5A

The link above also has a list of the base 10 numbers for each key code, but I need those base 10 numbers converted to hex. Is there any easy way to just do something like this?

>>> toHex("b")
0x42

Answer 1

you can get the ascii value of any character with ord

ord("B")

you can convert any number to hex representation with hex

hex(77)

Answer 2

You can use hex together with ord:

>>> hex(ord("B"))
'0x42'
