@Theo,
Been digging through the source to track down how it does it. Managed
to find it. It does use a central consistent method, which does use a
tempfile. However, it does not (as of yet) force a sync. I'm working
on getting that added to the code now. Here's the python routine it
uses:
self.__filename: the full path to the user's configuration file.
self.__tempfile: the same path and filename but with a dot prefix
def write(self):
(base_dir, filename) = os.path.split(self.__filename)
self.__tempfile = os.path.join(base_dir, '.' + filename)
try:
f = open(self.__tempfile, 'w')
except IOError, e:
return str(e)
try:
gajim.config.foreach(self.write_line, f)
except IOError, e:
return str(e)
f.close()
if os.path.exists(self.__filename):
# win32 needs this
try:
os.remove(self.__filename)
except Exception:
pass
try:
os.rename(self.__tempfile, self.__filename)
except IOError, e:
return str(e)
os.chmod(self.__filename, 0600)
