   I am currently using this method to load my text file:
*f = open("output.txt")
content=io.StringIO(f.read())
f.close()*
  But I have found that this method uses 4 times the size of text file.

So why not use

f = open("output.txt")
content=f.read()
f.close()

And process the file as a raw string?

Is there a reason for using the StringIO?
