[Python-Dev] for the todo list: cStringIO uses string.joinfields

[Fredrik Lundh]

the O_writelines function in Modules/cStringIO contains the
following code:

  if (!string_joinfields) {
    UNLESS(string_module = PyImport_ImportModule("string")) {
      return NULL;
    }

    UNLESS(string_joinfields=
        PyObject_GetAttrString(string_module, "joinfields")) {
      return NULL;
    }

    Py_DECREF(string_module);
  }

I suppose someone should fix this some day...

(btw, the C API reference implies that ImportModule doesn't
use import hooks.  does that mean that cStringIO doesn't work
under e.g. Gordon's installer?)
