Do you have to rewind the outfile so that the read is properly
positioned? The following interaction:
#############################
>>> import StringIO
>>> out = StringIO.StringIO()
>>> out.write("hello world")
>>> out.read()
''
#############################
shows that if we immediately read what you write, we get nothing: the
file position is not at the beginning. But as soon as we do a seek():
##############################
>>> out.seek(0)
>>> out.read()
'hello world'
##############################
then we're good.
Alternatively, can you do this instead?
#########################################
>>> out = StringIO.StringIO("hello, this is a test")
>>> out.read()
'hello, this is a test'
#########################################
In your case, construct the StringIO object with the content of
pyfromzip, up front, rather than with a separate call to write().
