[New-bugs-announce] [issue5452] Documentation for io.StringIO has wrong info for arguments

[Erick Tryzelaar]

New submission from Erick Tryzelaar <idadesub at users.sourceforge.net>:

(this is redirecting from http://bugs.python.org/issue5451). The 
documentation for io.StringIO is incorrect on the arguments. First off, it 
doesn't actually accept the "encoding" and "errors" arguments. Second, 
it's not stated that the default "newline" argument is "\n", as opposed to 
it's parent class TextIOWrapper, which defaults to None.
