You cannot decode string objects; they are already decoded. You'll have to use a different method.

You can use the codecs.decode() function to apply hex as a codec:

>>> import codecs
>>> codecs.decode('ab', 'hex') b'\xab'

This applies a Binary transform codec; it is the equivalent of using the base64.b16decode() function, with the input string converted to uppercase:

>>> import base64
>>> base64.b16decode('AB') b'\xab'

You can also use the binascii.unhexlify() function to 'decode' a sequence of hex digits to bytes:

>>> import binascii
>>> binascii.unhexlify('ab') b'\xab'

Either way, you'll get a bytes object.

使用第二种方式解决了:

>>> import base64
>>> base64.b16decode('AB')
