io.StringIO was backported from Python 3. It is a text (unicode) stream. 
cStringIO.StringIO is a binary stream and StringIO.StringIO can be used 
as binary or unicode stream depending on arguments. Use io.BaseIO as a 
replacement for StringIO.StringIO/cStringIO.StringIO if you need a 
binary stream.
