I understand the reasoning here, but I want to say booh to this change in 3.6.0a2 because it breaks my tests.  It used to be that type(x) returned a predictable string, and that was an easy way to verify the result types of things.

Perhaps a __str__ implementation could be added that avoids the memory address?
