The problem is the name "StringIO". Something like "StringStream" or "StringBuffer" might be more discoverable. I personally didn't have trouble deducing that "StringIO" means "treat a string like a file", but it's not immediately obvious what the module is for (unless you already know). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
