In theory, yes. In practice, we wouldn't be having this discussion if that really worked. But it probably would make sense to see how far using str can take us -- AFAICT enumobject.c doesn't define str (although I may be missing something, I don't know Python at the C level very well).
Container objects (tuples/lists/dicts/sets) don't define str. Is pprint an attempt to redefine str?
Oleg.
