I don't think so. Ropes are really useful when you work with gigabytes of
data, but unfortunately they don't make good general-purpose strings.
Monolithic arrays are much more efficient and simple for the typical
use-cases we have in Python.
If I recall correctly, io.StringIO and io.BytesIO have been updated to
use ropes internally in 3.3.
io.BytesIO has not yet. But it will be in 3.4 (issue #15381).
On the other hand, there is a plan for rewriting StringIO to more
effective continuous buffer implementation (issue #15612).
