While copying pasting code to test, the following works:
from itertools import islice
from os import rename
from os.path import expanduser, split
from tempfile import NamedTemporaryFile
real_file = (expanduser('~/Twitter/testing.txt'))
(filepath,
file) = split(real_file)
with NamedTemporaryFile(mode = 'w', prefix = file + '_', dir = filepath,
delete = False) as tf:
tempfile = tf.name
with open(real_file, 'r') as f:
for line in islice(f, 1, None):
tf.write(line)
rename(tempfile, real_file)
But first I used:
from itertools import islice
from os import rename
from os.path import expanduser, split
from tempfile import NamedTemporaryFile
real_file = (expanduser('~/Twitter/testing.txt'))
(filepath,
file) = split(real_file)
with NamedTemporaryFile(mode = 'w', prefix = file + '_', dir = filepath,
delete = False) as tf:
tempfile = tf.name
with open(real_file, 'r') as f:
for line in islice(f, 1, None):
tf.write(line)
rename(tempfile, real_file)
But that gave:
File "<stdin>", line 6
rename(tempfile, real_file)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Why?
