12369	cStringIO portability	Jeff Bauer	niall	"In reference to: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/outputting-pdf/

cStringIO is a great way to speed up complex reportlab pdfs.  For portability in environments that don't have cStringIO, I would encourage django coders to use this idiom:

{{{
try:
    from cStringIO import StringIO
except ImportError:
    from StringIO import StringIO

}}}"		closed	Documentation	1.1		fixed	cStringIO portability		Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
