Unable to convert int to str in idle but from the cmd python prompt it work sfine.

[ezio-melotti]

You probably did str = '4bf3e914' at some point and overridden str.

[mdickinson]

The code you show works fine for me.

The error you're seeing is almost certainly the result of inadvertently using 'str' as a variable name earlier in the IDLE session:
