I see. That worked fine in Python 2.4, but give a stack overflow
in Python 2.5.
Depending on your exact class definition, something like
return super(unicode, self).__getitem__(slice(0,len(self)))
should work.

I don't understand that remark. To implement the conversion in the
way you want it to be, it definitely needs to produce a copy of
self.
