I use a lot of strings that contain binary data.  If that's a
possibility you might want to specify a field-width and
zero-fill:

def strToHex(s):
  return ''.join(['%02x' % ord(c) for c in s])

Or, if you get tired of counting nibbles to find byte boundaries:

def strToHex(s):
  return ' '.join(['%02x' % ord(c) for c in s])
