I've just noticed that the StringIO in CVS hasn't been updated to be an iterator, like real file objects. This probably should be fixed before 2.3 is released.

I think you mean cStringIO.

Actually, I meant StringIO, but I see that I had my details wrong - I was just accessing it incorrectly (it's not a self-iterator, and has no next() method). I'll get back in my box now. Thanks.

Well, maybe StringIO should be upgraded to be a self-iterator, to more resemble files. And cStringIO should probably be fixed as well. Someome please check in the changes, upload a patch to SF, or at least enter a bug report at SF! --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
