I was actually bitten badly by this issue with StringIO. I added fileinput only as an afterthought. In an xml.sax app, I needed seek() support for a codec-wrapped file handle, so I over-wrapped it with StringIO. The result was that I had to refactor code all over the place to handle StringIO as a special case. What a mess! Why is this getting over-excited? It's a very lightweight change. You can't beat the cost/benefit ratio.
