Issue #, if available: #75
Description of changes:
Previously, we would only allow strings, bytes,
BytesIO
,StringIO
, andfile
sources. This leaves out a lot of streams that look and feel close enough for what we need.I would like to eventually properly define "this is the API that source streams must provide", but that will require more serious thought to avoid breaking people if we decide later that needs to change.
