Summary: printing unicode subclass instance => TypeError

Initial Comment:
Ramon M. Felciano reported this problem to me.

The bug happens when you enter code like the following
into PythonWin's interactive window:

	class x(unicode):
		pass

	print x(u'hello world')

(Full traceback at the bottom of this message.)

I have win32all build 163.  In this version, line 440
of
"{PYTHONHOME}\lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\winout.py"
reads:

	if type(item) != UnicodeType:

Changing this to "if not isinstance(type,
UnicodeType):" fixes the problem for me, and I think it
works in Python 2.2 as well; before that I dunno.

(The reason this comes up at all is that my path class,
http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path, is a
subclass of unicode on Windows.)
