There's one thing that I forgot to add to PEP 3137. It's the removal of the basestring type. I think this is a reasonable thing to do. Christian Heimes has a patch that does this cleanly. Anyone objecting, please speak up now!
I don't like replacing the abstract basestring with a concrete type in isinstance checks. I agree that the right answer is something in ABC, which may not need to be a builtin.
Does tearing out basestring before adding that "something" (String?) cause any problems?
