 ...     elif isinstance(seq,list): lb,rb = '[', ']'

 >>> hexiseq(('spam',10,15,'more spam'))
 "('spam', 0xa, 0xf, 'more spam')"
 >>> hexiseq(('spam',10,15,'more spam',['nested',65535,'spam'],'spam',255))
 "('spam', 0xa, 0xf, 'more spam', ['nested', 0xffff, 'spam'], 'spam', 0xff)"

 >>> print hexiseq(('spam',10,15,'more spam'))
 ('spam', 0xa, 0xf, 'more spam')
 >>> print hexiseq(('spam',10,15,'more spam',['nested',65535,'spam'],'spam',255))
 ('spam', 0xa, 0xf, 'more spam', ['nested', 0xffff, 'spam'], 'spam', 0xff)
