[jcea]

Doing a "grep StringIO Doc/library/*.rst" shows a handful of references to the old StringIO library. Notably:

gzip.rst
mailbox.rst
tempfile.rst
test.rst
unittest.mock.rst
xml.dom.minidom.rst

[serhiy-storchaka]

Here is a patch. Actually this is a small part of larger problem for which I will open several separated issues.

[jcea]

Patch is incomplete. I found this error while reading "unittest.mock", that you are not patching.

[serhiy-storchaka]

I don't see StringIO in Doc/library/unittest.mock.rst.

[serhiy-storchaka]

Ah, I missed it. Here is completed patch.
