With cygwin distributed python (2.4, dec 4 2004), there's a bug in tempfile.
import tempfile fo = tempfile.TemporaryFile() type(fo)
This should return <type 'file'>, but is currently returning <type 'instance'>
This also seems broken on python 2.3.4
This isn't a Cygwin problem or feature. The Windows-native Python 2.4 (Python 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32) gives the same result.
I suspect the tempfile module's docs are misleading... it you look at the code, the returned object is an instance of tempfile._TemporaryFileWrapper.
