Probably not, the StringIO solution is just closer to how you
described the problem, but also provides a fuller set of file-like
methods, including seek():
>>> import StringIO
>>> s = StringIO.StringIO()
>>> s.write('''
... here is some text
... that you can see''')
>>> s.read() # at eof
''
>>> s.seek(0)
>>> s.read() # at start of file
'\nhere is some text\nthat you can see'
>>>
