TypeError: Non-Hexadecimal digit found when trying to convert from hex to string
<p>I have a file encoded in hex and I'm trying to decode the file however I keep getting a type error. I have only been using python on and off for a few weeks so if this seems like a basic question I apologize.</p>

<p>The file contents is as follows:</p>

<p>here is the code I ran:</p>

<pre><code>"received_files/documents/cache/OCAGS0WFYO57JVFGUI4Z437.txt".decode("hex")
</code></pre>

<p>This is what I got back:</p>

<pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
