[ESPResSo-users] About import of cStringIO

[Pierre de Buyl]

Hi all,

in

src/python/espressomd/MDA_ESP/__init__.py

there is an import to cStringIO that is a Python 2 only feature. The
funcionality of cStringIO.StringIO is provided by io.StringIO in Python 3 but
six http://six.readthedocs.io/#module-six.moves allows to replace it by

from six.moves import cStringIO

and six is apparently an implied dependency anyway as it is required by 
MDAnalysis

https://github.com/MDAnalysis/mdanalysis/blob/develop/package/setup.py

If you think that it is useful, I attach a patch that I used on my computer. To
apply the patch, one can use "git apply".

Regards,

Pierre
