Hi, I recently got caught on tempfiles with respect to urllib.urlretrieve, which can create a tmpfile. Ah, but the file simply could not be found on the file system, even as root. But within the program that created the tmpfile, you could do useful things with the tmpfile. So the discussion in this thread is useful to me in understanding the rules. But having been given a clue by someone else, I never did find any python library documentation that was at all informative, even to the level of discourse in this thread.
But here is a relevant question: I wonder if a child process is the *same* process as the parent for these purposes? Thanks. max -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
