In 8-9 years of python programming I have probably never needed to do
"".join(str(i) for i in self), so even if there was a __str__ on
iterables, this seems to me to be a particularily useless default. :)

Instead of running filter on a string, you can replace the offending
character with emptyness.
filter(lambda c: c!="a", "abracadbra")
'brcdbr'
"abracadbra".replace('c', '')
'brcdbr'
I find using filter on a string kinda strange, I have to say. How
often do you have to filter away certain characters in s a string?
Never happened to me.
