Malcolm,

I never had the interest, so I did not try. Why don't you just try it? 
Just insert your StringIO file into the function and see if it works, or 
if it crashes and burns. Let me know what you find out!

Anyway, you could always just write a temporary file. It won't consume a 
lot of resources, I imagine.

Cheers,
Paul
