Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

isHex

✓ from isHex import isHex

✗ from ishex import isHex

isHexLower

✓ from isHex import isHexLower

isHexUpper

✓ from isHex import isHexUpper

Basic usage: check if string is hexadecimal, with optional case validation.

from ishex import isHex, isHexLower, isHexUpper # Validate a hex string print(isHex("1a2b3f")) # True print(isHex("0x1a2b3f")) # True (with 0x prefix) print(isHex("xyz")) # False # Validate case-specific print(isHexLower("1a2b")) # True print(isHexUpper("1A2B")) # True

Debug

Known issues

gotchaFunction names use camelCase (isHex, isHexLower, isHexUpper) while package name is all lowercase (ishex). Ensure correct casing when importing.

fix

Use 'from ishex import isHex' not 'import ishex' then call 'ishex.isHex' (though that also works, but the function is isHex).

affects: all

gotchaThe functions accept optional '0x' or '0X' prefix by default and treat them as valid hex. Some other hex checkers may reject prefixes. Be aware if you need strict no-prefix validation.

fix

If you need to reject prefixes, strip them before calling isHex().

affects: all

gotchaPackage is very small and not actively maintained. Last release 1.1.0 (2022). No future updates guaranteed.

fix

Consider alternatives like 'binascii' or a custom check if you need active maintenance.
