Detailed Description

Python 'hex_codec' Codec - 2-digit hex content transfer encoding

Unlike most of the other codecs which target Unicode, this codec
will return Python string objects for both encode and decode.

def encodings.hex_codec.getregentry

(

)

def encodings.hex_codec.hex_decode	(		input,
			errors = 'strict'
	)

Decodes the object input and returns a tuple (output
    object, length consumed).

    input must be an object which provides the bf_getreadbuf
    buffer slot. Python strings, buffer objects and memory
    mapped files are examples of objects providing this slot.

    errors defines the error handling to apply. It defaults to
    'strict' handling which is the only currently supported
    error handling for this codec.
