What your 's' represents seems quite different to 'mine.'
There must be something else going on.

Also of interest (at least to me) was the 'magic' you demonstrated in 
the print function parameter list; my efforts to figure it out:
>>> word = "Hello"
>>> print((c for c in word))
<generator object <genexpr> at 0xb71d125c>
>>> print(*(c for c in word))
H e l l o
>>> print(*(c for c in word), sep='')
Hello
