Guido van Rossum added the comment: I'll look at the patches later, but we've gone over this before on the list. str() of *any* object needs to return *something*. Yes, it's unfortunate that this masks bugs in the transitional period, but it really is the best thing in the long run. We had other exceptional treatement for str vs. bytes (e.g. the comparison was raising TypeError for a while) and we had to kill that too.
