4.6 cStringIO -- Faster version of StringIO

The module cStringIO provides an interface similar to that of the StringIO module. Heavy use of StringIO.StringIO objects can be made more efficient by using the function 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. Use the original StringIO module in that case.

The following data objects are provided as well:

InputType
The type object of the objects created by calling StringIO with a string parameter.

OutputType
The type object of the objects returned by calling StringIO with no parameters.

There is a C API to the module as well; refer to the module source for more information.
