I could not quite understand what you are trying to achieve, but it appears that you want to convert a character strings of hexadecimal characters into a byte string with the same bytes. I recommend this: py> import binascii py> binascii.a2b_hex("001485e55503") '\x00\x14\x85\xe5U\x03' Of course, if the string is fixed, you could just as well use the result string (i.e. '\x00\x14\x85\xe5U\x03') directly.
