Python write in mkstemp() file

I am trying to write in this file :

Answer 1

This example opens the Python file descriptor with os.fdopen to write cool stuff, then close it (at the end of the with context block). Other non-Python processes can use the file. And at the end, the file is deleted.

import os
from tempfile import mkstemp

fd, path = mkstemp()

with os.fdopen(fd, 'w') as fp:
    fp.write('cool stuff\n')

# Do something else with the file, e.g.
# os.system('cat ' + path)

# Delete the file
os.unlink(path)
