Print Page - python-bitcoinlib getblock , how to decode the hex string to human readable

Dear All,

I use the python-bitcoinlib getblock function

r = self._call('getblock', block_hash, False)

But i get the hex string format

020000003a42e1a730bd55a38c56d2f07a7094bb8d0e689............

how to decode the hex string to human readable for human readable format?

Thanks

Code:

 def getblock(self, block_hash):
        """Get block <block_hash>

        Raises IndexError if block_hash is not valid.
        """
        try:
            block_hash = b2lx(block_hash)
        except TypeError:
            raise TypeError('%s.getblock(): block_hash must be bytes; got %r instance' %
                    (self.__class__.__name__, block_hash.__class__))
        try:
            r = self._call('getblock', block_hash, False)
        except JSONRPCException as ex:
            raise IndexError('%s.getblock(): %s (%d)' %
                    (self.__class__.__name__, ex.error['message'], ex.error['code']))
        return CBlock.deserialize(unhexlify(r))
