[issue10935] wsgiref.handlers.BaseHandler and subclasses of str

[Denis S. Otkidach]

Denis S. Otkidach <denis.otkidach at gmail.com> added the comment:

Current behavior is unpythonic: documentation explicitly mentions isinstance as preferred way to check type (see http://docs.python.org/library/types.html ).

Also 2.7 is the last minor version with str as "main" string type. So I believe it should use isinstance(val, basestring) to help transition to Python 3.
