I want to atomically write to a file so have been using temporary files and renaming:
temp = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False) temp.file.write(data) temp.file.close() os.rename(temp.name, output_file) This worked but after 39567 files os.rename raises an OSError: [Errno 31] Too many links I can still create files in this directory so I doubt it is a platform limitation. Can you tell what is wrong? Am I not freeing the temporary file resources properly? thanks, Richard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
