[Tutor] Avoiding the use of files to store intermediate results

[Hugo González Monteverde]

Remember duck typing. An object just needs to look like a file in order 
to be used like one.

Guido's time machine has already forseen your problem. Take a look at 
the StringIO module.  It allows you to use a string where you would 
normally pass a file object.

Hope that helps,

Hugo
