"str" is a built-in function of Python, so you should avoid
re-assigning "str" to anything. See

http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods

for more information on "str". I don't get the error you reported at all:

[mv...@sage sage-4.2.1]$ ./sage

sage: STR = "ABCDEF"
sage: str = "abcdef"
sage: for a in range(0, 5):
....:     STR[a]
....:
'A'
'B'
'C'
'D'
'E'
sage: for aa in range(0, 5):
....:     str[aa]
....:
'a'
'b'
'c'
'd'
'e'

However, you can also do this:

sage: mySTR = "ABCDEF"
sage: mystr = "abcdef"
sage: for s in mySTR:
....:     print s
....:
A
B
C
D
E
F
sage: for ss in mystr:
....:     print ss
....:
a
b
c
d
e
f
