It helps if you can tell us what that string is. There is a good answer assuming that this is a hex encoded string. If that's true, post that info in your question. — tdelaney

With bytes.fromhex(my_hex_string):

>>> s = "aa28f5c91a24293a3278"
>>> bytes.fromhex(s)
b'\xaa(\xf5\xc9\x1a$):2x'

This bytes class method returns a bytes object, decoding the given string object. The string must contain two hexadecimal digits per byte, with ASCII whitespace being ignored.
