More info:
python 2.4.2 on Linux:
>>> import tempfile
>>> t = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
>>> t
<open file '<fdopen>', mode 'w+b' at 0xb7df07b8>
>>> type(t)
<type 'file'>
>>> dir(t)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__',
'__init__', '__iter__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__',
'__repr__', '__setattr__', '__str__', 'close', 'closed', 'encoding',
'fileno', 'flush', 'isatty', 'mode', 'name', 'newlines', 'next', 'read',
'readinto', 'readline', 'readlines', 'seek', 'softspace', 'tell',
'truncate', 'write', 'writelines', 'xreadlines']
python 2.4.1 on windows:
>>> import tempfile
>>> t = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
>>> t
<open file '<fdopen>', mode 'w+b' at 0x0099FBA8>
>>> type(t)
<type 'instance'>
>>> dir(t)
['__doc__', '__getattr__', '__init__', '__module__', '__repr__',
'close_called', 'file', 'name']
So this is an inconsistency within Python. Should mod_python attempt to
correct it, or just claim a Python bug?

This may be a Python Windows thing, but it shows up in mod_python:
When using util.FieldStorage on multipart/form-data encoded POST data
containing a file, in Linux a field.file will yield a file object
(actually a subclass of file), but in Windows you have to get the file
object through field.file.file. This probably has something to do with
the fact that Windows' implementation of tempfile.TemporaryFile is
different from Linux, but it should be made consistent in the mod_python
interface.

A new mod_python 3.2.3 beta tarball is now available for testing. A
Windows binary is also available.
This release is similar to 3.2.2b but fixes a couple a small issues
where a non-threaded python is used.
Here are the rules:
In order for a file to be officially announced, it has to be tested by
developers on the dev list. Anyone subscribed to this list can (and
should feel obligated to :-) ) test it, and provide feedback *to _this_
list*! (Not the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, and preferably not me
personally).
The files are (temporarily) available here:
http://www.modpython.org/dist/
Please download it, then do the usual
$ ./configure --with-apxs=/wherever/it/is
$ make
$ (su)
# make install
Then (as non-root user!)
$ cd test
$ python test.py
And see if any tests fail. If they pass, send a +1 to the list, if they
fail, send the details (the versions of OS, Python and Apache, the test
output, and suggestions, if any).
Thank you,
Jim Gallacher
