Summary: __slots__ does not iterate over a string

Initial Comment:
According to Guido's writeup, the value given to
__slots__
can be any iterable object.  If you give it a string
value,
however, e.g. __slots__ = 'abc', instead of getting
three
valid attributes named 'a', 'b', and 'c', you get one
named 'abc'.

Priority: Low. No, even lower :)
