Even more succinctly:
def ishex(s):
return all(c in string.hexdigits for c in s)
I'll see your two-liner and raise you. :-)
ishex = lambda s: all(c in string.hexdigits for c in s)
This is inferior because the resulting function object has generic name
attribute '<lambda>' instead of the specific name 'ishax'.
Please do not push such inferior code on new programmers.
