String to hex using map, reduce, and operator.{mod,concat} in 1 very Pythonic, functional, iterative line

str2hex.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

'''
A compact and, if I may say so, exceptionally "Pythonic" function/script
to convert strings to the hex representation of their UTF-8 encoding.

Were one so inclined, one could use it to assign, oh, site local 
IPv6 addresses, for one... 😉
