Guido has indicated strong dissatisfaction with the idea of subclassing str/unicode with respect to PEP 355. That's not my only problem with that PEP; I'm not at all convinced that an object is a better solution than a module for this particular use case.

Object vs module isn't my objection to the standard library status quo, either

However, I'm going to have to bow out of this discussion for now, too - it's interesting, but Python 2.5 is a lot closer than Python 2.6. . .

Cheers, Nick.
