[issue7028] hex function should work with floats

Josh Cogliati added the comment: Okay. Thank you. I looked at the issue 3008 discussion. I see why hex() was not changed. Can int.hex() and int.fromhex() be added for symmetry? I am willing to work on the patch, it just might be a bit. As well, either way, it might be useful for the documen

Josh Cogliati added the comment: Thank you for telling me about that function. I read the documentation on hex() and never realized that there was a second instance method float.hex(). I am curious why the proper way to turn a number into hex is the following: import types def to_hex(a):

[issue7028] hex function should work with floats

New submission from Josh Cogliati : The hex() builtin function only takes integers. Also there is no way to create a floating point number from a hexadecimal string. However it would often be useful to be able to see the hexadecimal version of an float since this is an exact representation as c
