Sorry, it just got really busy at my internship and then I kinda forgot. I'll be able to provide the pull request. Are you planning a release or got a date in mind?

Loading file-like objects and strings works now. Saving, cleanups and documentation are left. I'm continuing when I need it in the project I'm working on, which is in a week or two.

Which Python vesion do you want to support?

Polib supports python 2.5 to 3.3, I don't care too much if we drop 2.5, but I'd like to keep 2.6 support.

And I think the change is going to be bigger than I thought

Indeed, it's not that simple. But I think it's feasible because path checkes are mostly done in save() methods, that are not relevant for StringIO.

Which Python vesion do you want to support? Personally I only support 2.7 and 3.2+.

And I think the change is going to be bigger than I thought. All file writing/reading and file path checks need to be changed.

I'm +1 on accepting file objects, but keep in mind that the 1.X branch of polib must be backwards compatible. Thanks.
