[pypy-issue] [issue846] TypeError: type 'basestring' is not an acceptable base class

[Amaury Forgeot d Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com> added the comment:

Maybe, please add tests:
one that fails when a subclass of basestring has no __new__
one that passes when the subclass defines __new__.
