What is the difference between the meaning of 0x and x in Python hex strings?

Question:

I’m doing some binary operations which are often shown as hex-es. I have seen both the 0x and x as prefixes.

In which case is which used?

Answers:

0x is used for literal numbers. "x" is used inside strings to represent a character

>>> 0x41
65
>>> "x41"
'A'

>>> "x01" # a non printable character
'x01'
