Access to IO in Anaconda Python 3.6

[EastTNBill]

I’m a hobby programmer who finds the community edition of Anaconda Python extremely useful. I don’t need the performance in Anaconda’s IOPro, but I’d like to have the Standard Library’s IO module, specifically StringIO.

I see that the CSV module contains a class called StringIO, and I’m wondering if that is fully equivalent to the Python3.x StringIO. If it _isn’t_, how would I go about installing a standard Python3 IO module?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

StringIO is part of Python's standard library, as you say.  Anything in the standard library ships with Python.

For python 2: https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/io.html

For python 3: https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html

Yes, “ships with Python” - but seems not to ship with Anaconda Python. Continuum seems to want to sell their IOPro replacement for the standard IO module. See terminal session below:

$ python
Python 3.6.1 |Anaconda 4.4.0 (x86_64)| (default, May 11 2017, 13:04:09)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import IO
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'IO'
>>> import StringIO
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'StringIO'
>>>

but if I type:

>>> from csv import StringIO
>>>

Hence my question.

Thanks,
Bill

Please take a closer look at the link I sent.  You are using python 3, so this class is defined at:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.StringIO

Bear in mind that python is case sensitive.  "import IO" is not the same thing as "import io"

[EastTNBill]

Yah, knew that.  Was misled by some documentation I saw _somewhere_ in which there was chapter titled “IO” - should have paid more attention.

Thanks,

Bill
