[New-bugs-announce] [issue33574] Conversion of Number to String(str(number))

[Khalid Moh'd.]

New submission from Khalid Moh'd. <khld.163 at gmail.com>:

Consider conversion of an integer to string:
a=5 #number
str #outputs <class 'str'>
str(a) #works perfectly and prints '5'

Now, consider:
str="Hello World" #reads the string
str #prints "Hello World"
str(5) #gives an error


Interpreter considers variable str before parenthesis not str from <class 'str'>
There must be a way to distinguish user defined variable str and conversion operation str().
