for Bits:
return "0\x%02x" % self

for Bytes:
retvalue = "0x"
for Bits in self:
retvalue += "%02x" % Bits

for both classes, add a "hex" method which calls bytes(self).hex(). Add option to include a separator between each byte.

from bits import *
>>> my_bytes = Bytes(bytes.fromhex('deadbeef'))
>>> my_bytes.hex()
'deadbeef'
>>> my_bytes[0].hex()
'de'
>>>

This can currently be done by casting the Bits/Bytes object to bytes and calling the hex() method. Adding the method to the bits classes allows them to be used similarly to the built-in bytes class. The optional "sep=" can be used to specify a separator charactor.

It appears the built-in bytes.hex() method already includes 'sep' and 'bytes_per_sep' arguments. Therefore, the Bytes and Bits methods can simply be:

return bytes(self).hex(sep=sep, bytes_per_sep=bytes_per_sep)
