saving hexdump(packet) to list in scapy

Question

Is there any way I could save hexdump() to byte list so the list can be accessed by index. what I need is like this

byte = hexdump(packet)
for i in range(0, len(byte)):
print %x byte[i]

Answer 1

The byte content of the packet may be accessed by invoking str(packet), as follows:

content = str(packet) # decoded hex string, such as '\xde\xad\xbe\xef'
print content
for byte in content:
    pass # do something with byte

EDIT - This answer specifies how this can be converted to a byte array, for example:

byte_array = map(ord, str(packet)) # list of numbers, such as [0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF]
print byte_array
for byte in byte_array:
    pass # do something with byte
