@@ -71,24 +71,29 @@ The module :mod:`cStringIO` provides an interface similar to that of the
made more efficient by using the function :func:`StringIO` from this module
instead.
Since this module provides a factory function which returns objects of built-in
types, there's no way to build your own version using subclassing. It's not
possible to set attributes on it. Use the original :mod:`StringIO` module in
those cases.
Unlike the memory files implemented by the :mod:`StringIO` module, those
provided by this module are not able to accept Unicode strings that cannot be
encoded as plain ASCII strings.
Calling :func:`StringIO` with a Unicode string parameter populates
the object with the buffer representation of the Unicode string, instead of
encoding the string.
Another difference from the :mod:`StringIO` module is that calling
:func:`StringIO` with a string parameter creates a read-only object. Unlike an
object created without a string parameter, it does not have write methods.
These objects are not generally visible. They turn up in tracebacks as
:class:`StringI` and :class:`StringO`.
