I found nothing that helped as much as you have already.
In the reference (for 2.6.2) under print statement I find:
"print evaluates each expression in turn and writes the resulting object
to standard output (see below). If an object is not a string, it is
first converted to a string using the rules for string conversions.
This leaves the reader pondering "rules for string conversions". I
wonder whether this is defined and why it was not cross-referenced here.
In the reference (for 3.1.3) under print function I find:
"All non-keyword arguments are converted to strings like str() does"
Under str() I find:
"returns its nicely printable representation."
OK but still kinda vague.
