  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:

    PycString_IMPORT

  This would typically be done in your init function.
