Here is a patch to add pickling support to io.BytesIO and io.StringIO.
Although they are non-trivial, the additions were made with a fair
amount of care (and love!) and thus I believe they could be included in
3.1. 

Furthermore, the improved test-suite uncovered a number of bugs in the
implementation of io.StringIO. So the patch also fixes:

  * fixes a memory-leak in stringio_dealloc; 
  * disallows bytes-like object from being used as the newline
    argument of StringIO;
  * and changes the exception raised by StringIO.__init__ to a
    TypeError when initial_value is not a str.

I think it's too late for 3.1, since it's a new feature.

I split the bug fixes in the patch into two separate issues. It looks
like pickling support for io.StringIO and io.BytesIO will have to wait
for 3.2.
