Doesn't isinstance(x, basestring) already cover that?

That doesn't cover UserString, for example.

A better solution to that might be to have UserString
inherit from basestring.

But with that argument you could throw out the whole ABC machinery,
just let all lists inherit from list, all dicts from dict, etc.

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
