For long inputs, this doesn't seem to work though. I compared the output against CyberChef's for the first paragraph from cipsum.com.
Here is another, less compact one: https://github.com/njaladan/hashpy/blob/master/hashpy/fletcherNbit.py
I think you have to apply modulo before summing.

The above function returns the integer representation, not a string.
You can convert around, e.g., using Python's
binascii.hexlify
after conversion to bytes:see also https://docs.python.org/3/library/binascii.html#binascii.hexlify
Another neat web tool for all sorts of things is the GCHQ's CyberChef.
https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=Fletcher-32_Checksum() prints you the hexadecimal representation as well.
