OK, so, should I just submit a patch?
Hmm, there are quite a few people who strongly dislike the particular API you're proposing. The problem is, bright newbies might be led to wanting str(i, base) as an analogy to int(s, base) only because they see str() and int() as each other's opposites, not having seen other uses of either (especially str()).
Given the amount of disagreement on this issue and my own lackluster interest I don't want to pronounce str(i, base) to be the right solution. Sorry!
