no, it doesn't. it returns "<script" etc. as a string. because that's
what getvalue() does.
if you end up getting < in the output, it's because you're passing
the output from generator_file(...) to some other part of your program
that does HTML escaping. StringIO has nothing to do with that, and no
amount of replacing inside generator_file() will change that.

coding under the influence of confusion?
can you post the code that calls generator_file() and the code that
writes the return value to the browser?
