Let's have a single function PyFile_FromFd(fd, name, mode, buffering, encoding, newline). > I've another question. The os.tmpfile method is using tmpfile() which > returns a file pointer.

You should dup it; if you don't dup it, the fd will be closed when you call fclose(), rendering it useless; or when you don't call fclose(), you leak a FILE struct each time. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1267> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
