Re: [Python-Dev] PEP 42 - New kind of Temporary file

2006-05-29 Thread Guido van Rossum
I think it's a very minor feature at best -- but I do admit to having
implemented this at least once so I'm not against adding it as a new
feature to the tempfile module. It's getting awfully late for 2.5
though... (feature freeze is at 2.5b1 which is planned for June 14
IIRC).

 I'm Andy Chambers.  I've been lurking on the web-interface to the list
 for a while.  I recently started trying to implement one of the items on
 PEP 42 so I thought I should join the list and make myself known.

 The item I'm working on is the new kind of temporary file that only
 turns into a file when required (before which time presumably its a
 StringIO).

 Do we still want this?  I suggest it be exposed as a class TempFile in
 the tempfile module.  If yes, I'll write the test cases and submit a
 patch.

 Regards,
 Andy
