Converting strings to hex

[emile at fenx.com]

As long as we're contributing methods, I use this:

def hta(s, padlen=1):
    """ hta(string) returns a hex repr of string"""
    if not s:
        return ""
    elif type(s)<>type("string"):
        raise "argument should be of type string"
    elif len(s)<padlen:
        while len(s)<padlen:
            s = '\000' + s
    h = ""
    for c in s:
        h = h + '%2x' % ord(c)
    return h
