I would be strongly +1 on a string ABC. Currently (to my knowledge) there is no way of using duck typing for built-in APIs that expect a string. How do I pass in an object to 'open' for example that isn't actually a string or subclass?

Implement the character buffer API, which you can't actually do from Python code :P

Cheers, Nick.
