Well, it's actually any object that can produce a string representation.
Of course that's an irritating nitpick, but I think it's mostly that way in
Python. You don't care what type of object is passed, as long as it
implements stuff like __str__. I don't think Hungarian notation in Python is
very useful (as in, a notation that uses abbreviated prefixes to document
exactly what type of data is passed in).

If you think Hungarian is useful in Python, could you give a list of useful
prefixes to use?
