It's what I call a "real pain in the ass", at least when 
NSMutableString gets bridged into a PyString.

Why can't we wrap the NSString class cluster with some cruft that makes 
it pythonic instead of converting it to something that it wasn't?  
There is absolutely no namespace clash between NSString and PyString, 
with the added bonus that NSString can do just about everything that 
PyString can with one line of code or less.
