Python: Number Conversion Chart

This post is a few years old now, so some details (or my opinions) might be out of date.
I would still love to hear your feedback in the comments below. Enjoy!

Ever forget how to take a hex string like "2D" and convert it into binary data? Or how to parse an ascii-binary string like "101101" into a plain integer? Me too.

That’s why I crafted this table. It doens’t include all conversion, but it includes every conversion type I know, and you can chain them to get from any source type to any destination.

Every from/to cell assumes that the “original” integer is 45. Enjoy!
