The '#' means you want the alternate format with the 0x prepended, and the 
'7' means you want the number itself padded to 7 digits 

x := fmt.Sprintf("%07x", 42)   // 000002a
y := fmt.Sprintf("%0#7x", 42)   // 0x000002a
z := fmt.Sprintf("0x%07x", 42)   // 0x000002a

Seems pretty logical to me. If Python chooses to do it a different way, 
that's because Python is a different language.
