unicode lazy strings don't work on Jython
Description ¶
The problem is that on Jython __unicode__
lives on object (just like __str__
), so assigning the __unicode__ attribute to lazy instances don't work there.

Well, Jython now dropped object.__unicode__
, but a __unicode__
method assigned specifically to an instance doesn't work.
In fact, on CPython it seems that the only __*__
method that works when assigned to an instance is __unicode__
(all the others are looked up on the type, not the instance).
So, this patch still sounds reasonable, as the original code relies on a obscure implementation detail of CPython.

Nice idea. I hadn't realised the significance of creating a new __proxy__
each time. This is much neater than what we're doing in __str__
, so I'll change that, too.

Simple patch, works ok on CPython.
