R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: OK. So he is saying that when the spec says "an object of type str" he means 'type(x) is str' as opposed to 'isinstance(x, str)'. I would naively have expected the latter, as other people clearly do as well. I didn't participate in any of the discussions that led to this decision, so I won't pursue it further, but it does break the expectation that many people have about how python programs work, so I expect we'll be seeing this bug report again sometime :)
