Summary: str(cStringIO.StringIO)

Initial Comment:
The module docstring for cStringIO states
that extracting the value of an output stream
is possible via str(). This doesn't seem to
work in Python 2.2:

>>> import cStringIO
>>> s = cStringIO.StringIO()
>>> s.write("foo")
>>> s.getvalue()
'foo'
>>> str(s)
'<cStringIO.StringO object at 0x8225110>'

Can you quote exactly what in the module doc string says 
that str() works?  The code never worked this way, so I'll 
fix the doc string if you tell me what to fix.
