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.
