<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576650 by <a href="/recipes/users/4053089/">srid</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/stringio/">stringio</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/with_statement/">with_statement</a>). Revision 3. </p> <p>NOTE: Consider this recipe obsolete. Instead use <code>contextlib.closing</code> (see comment below).</p> <p>This contextmanager adds 'with' statement support for StringIO. Peruse the following simple example:</p> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>with StringIO() as sio: function_accepting_file_handle(sio) print sio.getvalue() </code></pre>
