IMO mkstemp() is a major pain because you have to use raw file descriptors on the return value. I'd much rather recommend [Named]TemporaryFile which return streams.
The problem with NamedTemporaryFile is that it deletes the file as soon as you close it, which makes the named-ness of it rather useless, as far as I can see. If you don't want that to happen, you have to use mkstemp. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
