how to use tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile() in python

Question

I want to use tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile() to write some contents into it and then open that file. I have written following code:

tf = tempfile.Nam         


        

Answer 1

You can also use it with a context manager so that the file will be closed/deleted when it goes out of scope. It will also be cleaned up if the code in the context manager raises.

import tempfile
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile() as temp:
    temp.write('Some data')
    temp.flush()

    # do something interesting with temp before it is destroyed
