I think they are, but it doesn't really matter, since both are a bit lame, and I doubt either is sufficiently suggestive to be worth changing the name of the module, or even providing an alias. I wish I had a better name to offer, that's all. > I personally like the relative tersity of "StringIO". The issue is not that I *dislike* the name; I *personally* like the name fine. It's that it's definitely not doing anything to reduce the frequency of the "efficient string concatenation" FAQ. _______________________________________________ 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
