\section{Standard Module \module{StringIO}}
\label{module-StringIO}
\stmodindex{StringIO}
This module implements a file-like class, \class{StringIO},
that reads and writes a string buffer (also known as \emph{memory
files}). See the description on file objects for operations.
\begin{classdesc}{StringIO}{\optional{buffer}}
When a \class{StringIO} object is created, it can be initialized
to an existing string by passing the string to the constructor.
If no string is given, the \class{StringIO} will start empty.
\end{classdesc}
\begin{methoddesc}{getvalue}{}
Retrieve the entire contents of the ``file'' at any time before the
\class{StringIO} object's \method{close()} method is called.
\end{methoddesc}
\begin{methoddesc}{close}{}
Free the memory buffer.
\end{methoddesc}
