[issue12244] cStringIO inconsistencies

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl <georg at python.org> added the comment:

1. The class for read-only objects is called "StringI" (the one for read-write objects is "StringO").

2./3. This is documented: http://docs.python.org/library/stringio#cStringIO.StringIO

These differences between StringIO and cStringIO are unfortunate, but cannot be changed anymore in Python 2.  It's all different in Python 3 anyway, with io.StringIO being the successor to both.
