Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com> added the comment:
I suppose it is a very old code written when str was a function, not a type
(thus using type('')) and builtin types were not subclassable (thus not using
isinstance()).
I once analyzed other similar cases in the stdlib. Seems it is time to revive
my old patch.
