Good catch

Thanks for the Code, but something is going wrong. :(

If you are using Python3:
Line 18: self.packet = b'\xff' * 6 + hexMac * 16 #create the magic packet from MAC address

My Hero! Thank you so much!

In my case work this:

Python 3

import socket

def wol(mac_address: str):
    mac_address_bytes = bytes.fromhex(mac_address.replace(':', '').replace('-', '').lower())
    magic_packet = b'\xFF' * 6 + mac_address_bytes * 16
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
    sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
    sock.sendto(magic_packet, ('255.255.255.255', 9))
    sock.close()

wol('00:11:22:33:44:55')

MicroPython

import socket

def wol(mac_address):
    mac_address = mac_address.replace(':', '').replace('-', '').lower()
    mac_address_bytes = b''.join(bytes([int(mac_address[i:i+2], 16)]) for i in range(0, 12, 2))
    magic_packet = b'\xFF' * 6 + mac_address_bytes * 16
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
    sock.sendto(magic_packet, ('255.255.255.255', 9))
    sock.close()

wol('00:11:22:33:44:55')
