Fix StringIO issue2550713: - io.StringIO in newer versions of python returns unicode strings and expects a unicode string in the constructor. Unfortunately csv doesn't handle unicode (yet). So we need to use a BytesIO which gets the utf-8 string from the web-interface. Compatibility for old versions by using Stringio.Stringio for emulating a io.BytesIO also works. - We didn't have a regression test for the EditCSVAction

PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend
==========================

This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for
Roundup issue tracker.

Prerequisites
=============

To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should
additionally install:

1. PostgreSQL 7.x - http://www.postgresql.org/

2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL:

     http://initd.org/software/initd/psycopg

   It is recommended that you use at least version 1.1.21


Running the PostgreSQL unit tests
=================================

The user that you're running the tests as will need to be able to access
the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop
databases. See the config values in 'test/db_test_base.py' 
about which database connection, name and user will be used.
