Opps.  I did say it was untested (that should have been == not !=, too).
What about:

def isfullHouse(roll):
    return len(set(roll)) == 2 and roll.count(min(roll)) != 1 and
roll.count(max(roll)) != 1

Although your solution looks a lot nicer than this (though it may use more
memory, and might be slower).
