+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.
