Thanks. The documentation for cStringIO implies that you can't pass to
it a string containing unicode with values above 128. However, I found
the exact opposite to be true. If I pass a string containing uincode
above 128 to StringI0, I get a unicode error. If I use cStringIO, I
get no error.

I would rather use cStringIO anyway, since it is faster, but wanted to
know if I had missed something in the documentation.

thanks

Paul
