The way you've currently written the tests, there's a lot of printing to
std::cout
and via Python print statements without any result checking. If there's a
problem with the result, I'll never know it. That's a good reason to use
doctest instead.

[I told you writing good tests would be the hard part -- except for
documentation, of course, which is the really hard part ;-)]

Another issue: functions such as str::startswith() should return bool
despite the fact that the Python versions return int.
