discord.py - discord bot set embed message color

Question

So I made this code for sending embed messages, if you write 000000 it will make the embed black, but if you write ff0000 for red color, it won't work, you have to write 0xff0000 for it to work, is there a way to make ff0000 work without the 0x? here is my code:

async def embed(ctx, *, content: str):
    title, description, color = content.split('|')
    embed = discord.Embed(title=title, description=description, color=int(color, 0))
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You can simply convert the color (ff0000) to an int with base 16

async def embed(ctx, *, content: str):
    title, description, color = content.split("|")
    embed = discord.Embed(title=title, description=description, colour=int(color, 16))
