Is there a StringBuffer-Class (as in Java, a mutable string if you want) in Python?

Python strings are immutable. Period.
Maybe you want a memory file?
>>> import StringIO
>>> x = 'This is a string'
>>> buffer = StringIO.StringIO()
>>> buffer.write(x)
>>> y = 'More string I want to add to the buffer'
>>> buffer.write(y)
>>> print buffer.getvalue()
This is a string
More string I want to add to the buffer
>>> buffer.close()
