Not only does that not answer the Original Poster's question, but I don't think it does what you seem to think it does. >>> tmp = tempfile.mktemp() >>> tmp '/tmp/tmpZkS0Gj' >>> type(tmp) <type 'str'> >>> import os >>> os.remove(tmp) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/tmpZkS0Gj' You might like to read help(tempfile.mktemp). (By the way... the whole point of using tempfile is to avoid needing to delete the file by hand afterwards.) -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
