"""
An object subclass for Python 2 that gives new-style classes written in the
style of Python 3 (with ``__next__`` and unicode-returning ``__str__`` methods)
the appropriate Python 2-style ``next`` and ``__unicode__`` methods for compatible.

Example use::

from builtins import object

my_unicode_str = u'Unicode string: \u5b54\u5b50'

class A(object):
        def __str__(self):
            return my_unicode_str

a = A()
    print(str(a))

# On Python 2, these relations hold:
    assert unicode(a) == my_unicode_string
    assert str(a) == my_unicode_string.encode('utf-8')

Another example::

from builtins import object

class Upper(object):
        def __init__(self, iterable):
            self._iter = iter(iterable)
        def __next__(self):                 # note the Py3 interface
            return next(self._iter).upper()
        def __iter__(self):
            return self

assert list(Upper('hello')) == list('HELLO')
