How to change characters in a list to hex numbers?

Question

key = input()

a = list(str(key))
print(a)

Does anyone know how to change that a list to get hex numbers in there? Example:

key = "abc"
>> ["a", "b", "c"]

But instead of those letters hex numbers.

Thanks.

I actually was trying with some of it, but i need the whole list to be in hex. — Blogames, Jan 31 '22 at 22:23
So your question is not how to convert a character to its hex value but how to parse a list? — fuenfundachtzig, Jan 31 '22 at 22:24
The question covers that. You can convert the whole string without converting to a list. BTW, just to be snarky, "a", "b", and "c" ARE hex numbers. That's why you should SHOW us exactly what output you want. — Tim Roberts, Jan 31 '22 at 22:31
what output do you want **exactly**? "Hex numbers" is ambiguous, you at the very least need to specify the *type* of object. Do you want `int` objects corresponding to the hex value a, b, c? Do you want `str` objects in some other format? Please be *precise* — juanpa.arrivillaga, Jan 31 '22 at 22:33

Use ord to get the int representation of a character, and hex to get the hex representation of that int.

>>> [hex(ord(c)) for c in "abc"]
['0x61', '0x62', '0x63']
