What happens if you have a non-BMP codepoint? So far, what you have is
pretty straight-forward.

>>> s = "hello  there\nthis is a test\n"
>>> "".join("%04x" % ord(x) for x in s)
'00680065006c006c006f0020002000740068006500720065000a00740068006900730020006900730020006100200074006500730074000a'

But if you have codepoints that don't fit in four hex digits, this
will mess up your formatting. You'll need to decide how to handle
those.
