Gregory P. Smith <[email protected]> added the comment:
FYI - micropython added an optional 'sep' second argument to binascii.hexlify()
that is a single character separator to insert between every two hex digits.
given the #9951 .hex() methods we have everywhere (and corresponding .fromhex),
binascii.hexlify is almost a legacy API. (but micropython doesn't have those
methods yet). one key difference? hexlify returns the hex value as a bytes
rather than a str.
just adding a couple of parameters to the hex() method seems fine. a separator
string and a number of bytes to separate.
yet another minilanguage would be overkill. and confusing in the face of the
existing numeric formatting mini language ability to insert , or _ separators
every four spaces ala f'{value:_x}'.
