This module implements a file-like class, \code{StringIO},
|
||
|
|
that read and write a string buffer (also known as {\em memory
|
||
|
|
files}). See the description on file objects for operations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When a \code{StringIO} object is created, it can be initialized
|
||
|
|
to an existing string by passing the string to the constructor.
|
||
|
|
If no string is given, the \code{StringIO} will start empty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The method \code{getvalue()} can be called at any time to return the
|
||
|
|
contents of the entire ``file'' at any time.
