python coding of user input of hex numerals
<p>How do I get the A to F hex numerals in as user input via something like:</p>

<p><code>hexnum=raw_input("input your hex number -&gt; ")</code></p>

<p>Then I have a problem with such input not being convertible via:</p>

<p><code>number=int(hexnum)</code></p>

<p>I am looking for a simple example with a basic explanation.</p>
