The later is exactly the same string as "Uaa":

Uaa

Have you tried it?
py> int("\x55aa", 16)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 16: 'Uaa'
py> int("0x55aa", 16)

"decimal" and "hex" are just ways to represent/display integers. You
convert from the representation used on the source, to integer, do some
math, and convert again to another representation for display/store the
result.

Use the struct package.
