Hex numbers don't exist. You have just numbers. Those numbers can be represented in different ways, but that doesn't make it a different (kind of) number. > for example > > msg = "Length is " > n = '\x81' > msg += n > sock.send(msg) You are not sending a number, you are sending a string. What you seem to want is to represent this number in hexadecimal format on this machine within a string and send that string to an other machine. > The problem is n's value is not fixed. For example, > > msg = "Length is " > n = len(somestring) > msg += n # This won't work of course, since n is int > > How do I send this msg + n? Use string formatting: msg = "Length is 0x%x" % n -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
