|
|
This module implements a file-like class, \class{StringIO},
|
|
that reads and writes a string buffer (also known as \emph{memory
|
|
files}). See the description on file objects for operations.
|
|
|
|
\begin{classdesc}{StringIO}{\optional{buffer}}
|
|
When a \class{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 \class{StringIO} will start empty.
|
|
\end{classdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{methoddesc}{getvalue}{}
|
|
Retrieve the entire contents of the ``file'' at any time before the
|
|
\class{StringIO} object's \method{close()} method is called.
|
|
\end{methoddesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{methoddesc}{close}{}
|
|
Free the memory buffer.
|
|
\end{methoddesc}
