I don't think so. I think I was saying that I can do exactly what it says I can, and can't do what it says I can't do, but that I don't understand why there is a difference between the two approaches given what else it says... (I hope that's clearer than it looks to me. ;-) I did try it, and I can't reopen the NamedTemporaryFile on Windows, but I can reopen the mkstemp file. Both from the same process, which could be quite different than what the docs are actually talking about (noting Chris' reply). -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
