You should also check separately that the total length of the hostname must not exceed 255 characters. For more information, please consult RFC-952 and RFC-1123.
def isValidHostname(hostname):

# if present
allowed = re.compile("(?!-)[A-Z\d-]{1,63}(?<!-)$", re.IGNORECASE)
return all(allowed.match(x) for x in hostname.split("."))

output:
