Python: Manipulate string or binary bytes with StringIO

Sometimes it is not convenient to construct string using equal (=) like this:

str = "Hello, "
...
str = str + "my name is "
...
str = str + Name
print str

In python, we have string stream (StringIO) that will behave like file stream, you can construct your string like this:

str=StringIO()
...
str.write("Hello, ")
...
str.write("my name is ")
...
str.write(Name)
print str.getvalue()

The same way, you can construct your binary bytes with StringIO and write it into file once you are done.


bin=StringIO()
bin.write("/x5F/x5F%c" % 0xFF)
...
file = open ("my.bin","wb")
file.write(bin.getvalue())
file.close()

    i usually use

    str = ”
    str += ‘line 1\n’
    str += ‘line 2\n’
    str += ‘%s’ % 12345

    shorter :)

    The best is not always the most popular. My favorite scientific blogs. Thank you admin.

    This report is misleading. Luda doesn’t claim to have hoes on Midway or Wake Islands, only in area code 808, which also includes Hawaii, a far more likely zone for hoes, it seems.
