Mahmoud Hashemi added the comment:

I would urge you all take a stronger look at usability, rather than parroting 
the current state of the design and docs. Python gained renown over the years 
for its ability to stay flexible while maturing. Focusing on purity and 
ignoring the needs of practical programmers is exactly how PEP #461 ended up 
coming into play so late.

The inflexible arguments of str makes a common task, turning data into text, an 
order of magnitude harder than it needs to be.
