Antoine Pitrou added the comment: That doesn't sound terribly useful indeed. The "hex" example is a toy example. Real-world examples would involve compression (zlib...) but then it is probably much more efficient to have a dedicated implementation (GzipFile) rather than blindly call zlib.compress() or zlib.decompress() at each round.
