Hello everyone!A very common pattern when dealing with temporary files is code like this: with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmpdir: tmp_path = tmpdir.name os.chmod(tmp_path) os.foobar(tmp_path) open(tmp_path).read(barquux) PEP 519 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0519/) introduced the concept of "path-like objects", objects that define a __fspath__() method. Most of the standard library has been adapted so that the functions accept path-like objects. My proposal is to define __fspath__() for TemporaryDirectory and NamedTemporaryFile so that we can pass those directly to the library functions instead of having to use the .name attribute explicitely. Thoughts? :-)
Good idea. Check bugs.python.org to see if there is already an issue for this, and if not create one! :) -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
