title: How to convert a Python string representing bytes into actual bytes?
body: <p>I have a string like: "01030009" and I want to get another string (because in Python 2.x we use strings for bytes) newString which will produce this result:</p>
  
  <pre><code>for a in newString:
      print ord(a)
  
  0
  1
  0
  3
  0
  0
  0
  9
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
