Hi, I would like to understand exactly if and where urlgrabber might write to temporary files.
In a recent post here I was told that urlopen() saves the link to a file before returning it http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.rpm.yum.devel/6661 Reading grabber.py I can only find something like that 1729 self.fo = StringIO() 1721 # if this is to be a tempfile instead.... 1722 # it just makes crap in the tempdir 1723 #fh, self._temp_name = mkstemp() 1724 #self.fo = open(self._temp_name, 'wb') where it seems that something like that might have gone on at some time (not sure it is relevant thouh). urlgrab clearly writes to a file. But urlopen and urlread, do they write? and if yes, where? I ask that since I am going to use it on a Raspberry PI and I don't want to have a long running script that continually writes to the SD card. I could use urlgrab to /tmp, but I find more elegant to use urlopen or urlread if they don't write to the "wrong" place.
