Remove Dead Code in PyObject_Print

[MonadChains]

Bug report

While working on covering PyObject_Print, I noticed that I couldn't hit some lines with any test. Specifically, the part that checks the type of the representation of the object returned by PyObject_Str or PyObject_Repr:

cpython/Objects/object.c

Lines 280 to 308 in f4ead48

	PyObject *s;
	if (flags & Py_PRINT_RAW)
	s = PyObject_Str(op);
	else
	s = PyObject_Repr(op);
	if (s == NULL)
	ret = -1;
	else if (PyBytes_Check(s)){
	fwrite(PyBytes_AS_STRING(s), 1,
	PyBytes_GET_SIZE(s), fp);
	}
	else if (PyUnicode_Check(s)){
	PyObject *t;
	t = PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(s, "utf-8", "backslashreplace");
	if (t == NULL){
	ret = -1;
	}
	else{
	fwrite(PyBytes_AS_STRING(t), 1,
	PyBytes_GET_SIZE(t), fp);
	Py_DECREF(t);
	}
	}
	else{
	PyErr_Format(PyExc_TypeError,
	"str() or repr() returned '%.100s'",
	Py_TYPE(s)->tp_name);
	ret = -1;
	}

As pointed out by @encukou, both aforementioned functions already check and ensure that the return type is a Python string:

cpython/Objects/object.c

Lines 492 to 498 in f4ead48

	if (!PyUnicode_Check(res)){
	_PyErr_Format(tstate, PyExc_TypeError,
	"__str__ returned non-string (type %.200s)",
	Py_TYPE(res)->tp_name);
	Py_DECREF(res);
	return NULL;
	}

cpython/Objects/object.c

Lines 433 to 439 in f4ead48

	if (!PyUnicode_Check(res)){
	_PyErr_Format(tstate, PyExc_TypeError,
	"__repr__ returned non-string (type %.200s)",
	Py_TYPE(res)->tp_name);
	Py_DECREF(res);
	return NULL;
	}

So it is possible to simplify the function by excluding the useless checks of types diffent from Python string.
