The attribute `ast.Interpolation.str` is a bug

Bug report

Bug description:

Shadowing builtins.str by introducing the attribute ast.Interpolation.str in Python 3.14 is a bug. The existence of ast.Interpolation.str is, and will be, the proximate cause of many bugs and problems for many programmers.

Some unsolved bugs may be reported to Python through an official channel. Python will necessarily be unaware, however, of the extra costs associated with creating workarounds for the shadowing, as Python lacks mechanisms for collecting this information.

CPython versions tested on:

3.14

Operating systems tested on:

No response

Sorry but it's not an issue. There is no shadowing involved for the end-user, only for the AST class itself but that's also not an issue. ast.Name also has an id field. Unless you write str = interp.str, in which case it's rather the user's fault, there won't be an issue. I'm closing this as not planned.
