Fix SF bug #526518

jeremyhylton · jeremyhylton · commit b189b07dcc0b · 2002-03-08T17:17:33.000Z
The doc string for cStringIO suggested that str() of a StringIO object
was equivalent to getvalue().  This was never true, so repair the doc
string.  (doctest would have helped here.)

Bug fix candidate for any past versions.
