The mmap module should do
what you are looking for. It allows you to store data in memory (hence the name
memory map) and treat it as both a string and a file.

Subject: in-memory-only file object from string
Hello,
how to create a file object whose contents I
initialize from a string
and which is purely in memory?
I can make a
workaround like this:
filecontents = "Very interesting stuff ...
"
file = os.tmpfile ()
file.write (filecontents)
file.seek
(0)
procedure (fileobject = file)
but this creates a file on harddisk.
Instead I would like to use
something like:
filecontents = "Very
interesting stuff ... "
file = stringfile (filecontents)
procedure
(fileobject = file)
Is this possible somehow? I appreciate any
help.
