@classmethod def fromhex(self, data): data = re.sub(r'\s+', '', data) return bytes(binascii.unhexlify(data))

[Jason Orendorff]

If it's to be a classmethod, I guess that should be "return self( binascii.unhexlify(data))".

Am I the only one who finds the use of "self" on a classmethod to be incredibly confusing? Can we please follow PEP 8 and use "cls" instead?
