[issue8382] cStringIO and StringIO doesn't behave the same way

[Tarek Ziadé]

New submission from Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek at gmail.com>:

Looks like the python version of StringIO can write tuples, but not the C version. I am not sure this is intended:

>>> from cStringIO import StringIO as cStringIO
>>> from StringIO import StringIO as StringIO
>>> string = StringIO()
>>> string.write(('my', 'tuple'))
>>> cstring = cStringIO()
>>> cstring.write(('my', 'tuple'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: write() argument 1 must be string or read-only character buffer, not tuple
