For avoidance of doubt: nothing in my RFC has anything to do, or implies, "a mutable string type". A well-know pattern of string builder, yes. Piggybacking on existing StringIO/BytesIO classes, yes. Anything else, no. To not leave it cut and dry: IMHO, we need more const'ness in Python, not less. I my dreams I already do stuff like: from __future__ import const class Foo: pass # This is an alias for "Foo" Bar: const = Foo # This is a variable which can store a reference to Foo or any other class Baz = Foo [This is not a new RFC!
