+"""The io module provides the Python interfaces to stream handling. The\r
+builtin open function is defined in this module.\r
+\r
+At the top of the I/O hierarchy is the abstract base class IOBase. It\r
+defines the basic interface to a stream. Note, however, that there is no\r
+separation between reading and writing to streams; implementations are\r
+allowed to raise an IOError if they do not support a given operation.\r
+\r
+Extending IOBase is RawIOBase which deals simply with the reading and\r
+writing of raw bytes to a stream. FileIO subclasses RawIOBase to provide\r
+an interface to OS files.\r
+\r
+BufferedIOBase deals with buffering on a raw byte stream (RawIOBase). Its\r
+subclasses, BufferedWriter, BufferedReader, and BufferedRWPair buffer\r
+streams that are readable, writable, and both respectively.\r
+BufferedRandom provides a buffered interface to random access\r
+streams. BytesIO is a simple stream of in-memory bytes.\r
+\r
+Another IOBase subclass, TextIOBase, deals with the encoding and decoding\r
+of streams into text. TextIOWrapper, which extends it, is a buffered text\r
+interface to a buffered raw stream (`BufferedIOBase`). Finally, StringIO\r
+is a in-memory stream for text.\r
+\r
+Argument names are not part of the specification, and only the arguments\r
+of open() are intended to be used as keyword arguments.\r
+\r
+data:\r
+\r
+DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE\r
+\r
+ An int containing the default buffer size used by the module's buffered\r
+ I/O classes. open() uses the file's blksize (as obtained by os.stat) if\r
+ possible.\r
