            return True
        except ValueError:
            return False

    return len(egn) == 10 and check_validation_code(egn) and check_valid_date(egn)

Row 32 can be:

sum(weight * int(digit) for weight, digit in zip(weights, egn))

Also, instead of str(my_sum % 11)[-1], you can do sum % 11 % 10.
