1"""The io module provides the Python interfaces to stream handling. The
2builtin open function is defined in this module.
3
4At the top of the I/O hierarchy is the abstract base class IOBase. It
5defines the basic interface to a stream. Note, however, that there is no
6separation between reading and writing to streams; implementations are
7allowed to raise an OSError if they do not support a given operation.
8
9Extending IOBase is RawIOBase which deals simply with the reading and
10writing of raw bytes to a stream. FileIO subclasses RawIOBase to provide
11an interface to OS files.
12
13BufferedIOBase deals with buffering on a raw byte stream (RawIOBase). Its
14subclasses, BufferedWriter, BufferedReader, and BufferedRWPair buffer
15streams that are readable, writable, and both respectively.
16BufferedRandom provides a buffered interface to random access
17streams. BytesIO is a simple stream of in-memory bytes.
18
19Another IOBase subclass, TextIOBase, deals with the encoding and decoding
20of streams into text. TextIOWrapper, which extends it, is a buffered text
21interface to a buffered raw stream (`BufferedIOBase`). Finally, StringIO
22is an in-memory stream for text.
23
24Argument names are not part of the specification, and only the arguments
25of open() are intended to be used as keyword arguments.
26
27data:
28
29DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE
30
31   An int containing the default buffer size used by the module's buffered
32   I/O classes. open() uses the file's blksize (as obtained by os.stat) if
33   possible.
