How do I convert a hexidecimal color (with alpha) to an int in Jython?

Question

Hi,

I need to convert an ARGB hex into an int in Jython for color. I've tried using longs, hex() and a combination of other things and can't seem to get it to work.

I get this error "TypeError : 5th arg can't be coerced to int" when I try to convert 0x80ff3333 to an int.

I guess there are too many bytes in the hex to convert it. Anyone know the syntax for this conversion?

Thanks!

Just pass a second argument for the base to the int-function.
