I would have thought StringIO and cStringIO would return the
same result for this ascii-encodeable string. Worse:
>>> StringIO.StringIO(u'a').getvalue().encode('utf-8').decode('utf-8')
u'a'
does the right thing, but
>>> cStringIO.StringIO(u'a').getvalue().encode('utf-8').decode('utf-8')
u'a\x00\x00\x00'
looks bogus. Am I misunderstanding something?
