Python equivalent to the "A" or "a" output conversions in C

[Edward C. Jones]

Consider the following line in C:
printf('%a\n', x);
where x is a float or double. This outputs a hexadecimal representation
of x. Can I do this in Python?

Don't know why there is no format character %a or %A in python, but the
conversion is done by float method hex():

a = 3.1415
print a.hex()
