I just thought of something, before looking at the code you've provided, that might matter.
Per http://docs.python.org/library/stringio.html the memory buffer is not freed until you call the .close() method. So, what you might need to do is store the file handle in the request variable, and then call .close() in the __after__ method. Otherwise, you could use the .get() to retrieve the value, and then call .close() in the main method itself. That might take care of it for you entirely.
