title: Convert time-string into individual hex bytes
body: <pre><code>dt = datetime.datetime.now()
  dt = dt.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
  t = dt.decode("hex")
  print list(t)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is returning <code>[' ', '\x15', '\x12', ')', '\x10', ')', '6']</code>. But it is not converted to hex. Though I want to have eg. year-<code>2015</code> must be converted to <code>\x07\xdf</code> and accordingly convert <code>month, date, hour, minute, second</code> into their respective <code>hex</code>. Anyone who could help me out with this? </p>
