The minimal requirements for pycurl.WRITEFUNCTION are

takes one argument, a string (may contain null bytes)
returns either None or the length of the string argument on success
any other return value indicates an error

so a minimal impl is
def callback(str):
        pass

don't limit yourself to the StringIO stuff. You can feed the output into
an xmlreader, or list.append
