Great solution! Really clear and concise.

narrowing the exception catching would greatly improve this solution: <pre class='brush: python'>except IndexError: return true </pre> currently, your solution considers any <a href="https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/exceptions.html#exception-hierarchy">BaseException</a> as a proof that all elements are the same.

This should be definitely added to the solution
