-The :mod:`io` module provides Python's main facilities for dealing for various
-types of I/O.  There are three main types of I/O: *text I/O*, *binary I/O*, *raw

-each of them.  Concrete objects belonging to any of these categories will often
-be called *streams*; another common term is *file-like objects*.
