The thingy module gives you far too many ways to manipulate a string of bytes. Supported list-like methods include append(), insert(), count(), index(), remove(), reverse(), sort(), slice assignment, del T[range]. File-like methods and attributes include read(), readline(), readlines(), write(), writelines(), seek(), tell(), truncate(), flush(), isatty(), close(), softspace, mode, name, closed, separator. Also, thingy objects work with most of the toys in the string and re modules. Of course, they can meow too. This module is written in C, and includes basic docs and Unix makefile stuff. Licensing is BSD style, see thingymodule.c for details. <P><A HREF="http://members.xoom.com/meowing/python/">thingy 0.1</A> - mutable string-like objects with file and list methods.
