[Python-Dev] PEP 42 - New kind of Temporary file (original) (raw)

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
