Re: [Python-ideas] Dunder method to make object str-like

We have abstract base classes for such tests, but there's nothing which would define "string-like" as ABC. Before trying to define a test via a special method, I think it's better to define what exactly you mean by "string-like".

Something along the lines of numbers.Number, but for strings.

To make an object string-like, you then test for the ABC and then call .__str__() to get the string representation as string.

Does ABC is easy to use from C? There should be easy way to (1) define "string-like" class in C and (2) use "string-like" object from C.
