+
+ This header provides access to cStringIO objects from C.
+ Functions are provided for calling cStringIO objects and
+ macros are provided for testing whether you have cStringIO
+ objects.
+
+ Before calling any of the functions or macros, you must initialize
+ the routines with:
+
+ PycStringIO_IMPORT
+
+ This would typically be done in your init function.
