Hmm. Actually, I'm a bit confused.
>>> hex("100ΓΘ¼".encode())
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'bytes' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
Nope, that's not it. Needs something to turn the bytes into an integer first.
But I can't find a way to do that. Best I can find is:
>>> "100ΓΘ¼".encode().hex()
'313030e282ac'
No "0x" prefix, no function call. So, I'm stuck. How did you create your one?
