How to convert str to hex via python

Question

I want to convert string to a hex (decimal), for example abc to 616263 and so on. How do I do that?

I have tried:

x= input("Enter string")
x = int(x)
hex(x)

But it is not working.

Well, yeah, you're not assigning the results of `hex` to anything. — Morgan Thrapp, Dec 22 '15 at 16:45
What is "a hex (decimal)"? What does "abc" have to do with 616263? — khelwood, Dec 22 '15 at 16:45
@khelwood As I can think, It's ASCII in Hexadecimal value of `abc` — roottraveller, Dec 22 '15 at 16:58

maybe you are looking for something like:

x.encode("hex")

having issue :/ LookupError: 'hex' is not a text encoding; use codecs.encode() to handle arbitrary codecs – user23634623 Dec 22 '15 at 18:41
you could try to `from codecs import encode, decode encode(x, "hex")` – Stefano Saitta Dec 23 '15 at 09:38
