- A new type object, 'string', is added. This is a common base type for 'str' and 'unicode', and can be used instead of types.StringTypes, e.g. to test whether something is "a string": isinstance(x, string) is True for Unicode and 8-bit strings. This is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly.
