> I also found an answer suggesting to use binascii.a2b_hex() to decode a string the hexadecimal string "2020202020202020202020205635514d385a5856": https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9683278/how-to-get-hard-disk-drivers-serial-number-in-python/9683837#9683837 Oh wait, it is just unrelated :-) It's a typo in the StackOverflow answer: "import binhex; binascii.a2b_hex(...)". It should be "import binascii" obviously ;-) I didn't notice at the first read. binhex has no a2b_hex() function :-)
