For the record, "c1" in your example should be an integer/long

It sounds like you want the optional parameter to int() so you'd do

>>> hex_string = "My text message".encode("hex")
>>> hex_string
'4d792074657874206d657373616765'
>>> m1 = int(hex_string, 16)  # magic happens here
>>> m1
402263600993355509170946582822086501L
>>> c1=0x6c73d5240a948c86981bc294814d 
>>> c1
2199677439761906166135512011931981L
>>> k = m1 ^ c1
>>> k
400239414552556350237329405469124136L
>>> hex(k) # as a string
'0x4d1553a14172e0acebfd68b1f5e628L'
