Argument encoding: list of uints (uint[48])

Question

Using python web3 module, attempting to call a contract function that takes one argument, a list of 48 uints:

function checkOrderBatch(uint[48] input) external view returns(uint16[16] status, uint[16] amount) { ...

Calling the function like so:

res = contract.functions.checkOrderBatch(o).call()

Where o is my input.

I've been able to successfully interact with this contract already with the python web3 module, but everything I try for this function returns an error about my input values.

Here are the things I've tried, and the errors I've recieved:

1. Input: List of 48, with each element being a string of the following form

   '0x0160e8043c35120bde2b0788f918bdd57160a127d2d56cea9c24a1342b45320c'

   Error:

Could not identify the intended function with name checkOrderBatch, positional argument(s) of type (<class 'list'>,) and keyword argument(s) of type {}. Found 1 function(s) with the name checkOrderBatch: ['checkOrderBatch(uint256[48])'] Function invocation failed due to improper argument encoding.

2. Input: List of 48, with each element being bytes of the following form

   b'0160e8043c35120bde2b0788f918bdd57160a127d2d56cea9c24a1342b45320c'

   Error: Same as #1

3. Input: List of 48, with each element being a string of the following form

   '0160e8043c35120bde2b0788f918bdd57160a127d2d56cea9c24a1342b45320c'

   Error: Same as #1

4. Input: List of 48, with each element being bytes of the follow form

   b'0x0160e8043c35120bde2b0788f918bdd57160a127d2d56cea9c24a1342b45320'

   Error: Same as #1

5. Input: 48 separate arguments. Error: As expected, incorrect number of arguments.

Clearly I'm not an expert in the data types intended here, so I'm likely doing something stupid. But I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you would like something to test, here is the specific contract:

https://etherscan.io/address/0x37304b0ab297f13f5520c523102797121182fb5b#code

The function is checkOrderBatch. It is a view function, so you can mess with it without wasting gas. If you can submit anything to it and get past the point I got, that's all I need! It's ok if the function returns an error. I just need to get the encoding right.

Thank you!

I knew I was doing something stupid due to being relatively new to this ...

For anyone who's curious, this is what I was missing:

int(your_string_here,16)
