This reminds me. Would anyone object to adding a sentence to http://docs.python.org/library/stringio.html#module-cStringIO just to mention that attributes cannot be added to a cStringIO, like such:
% import cStringIO, StringIO % StringIO.StringIO().value = 1 % cStringIO.StringIO().value = 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'cStringIO.StringO' object has no attribute 'value' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
