/private/var/folders/.. is for per-user temporary directories
[default value of TMPDIR], and the directories in question are writable
by the users and not affected by SIP. But it's hidden (since people
aren't expected to actually want to navigate to their temporary files -
how often do you actually go look for something in /tmp?).

I would suggest creating his files in the desktop or documents folder if
he wants to be able to interactively use the files.

Sorry you were right the path is in: /vars/folders not /private/var/folders.

Thanks William and John,

So the full path that scipy is using is: 
/private/var/folders/w4/wrnzszgd41d7064lx64nc10hgn/T/

I can't recall specifically adding the /var directory under /private.

William - do you know how I can make scipy write temporary files in a non SIP 
folder?

Thanks so much,
Darren

Is this a typo or did you really mean /private/vars?  That is, did your create 
a “vars” directory under /private at some point in the past (pre-Yosemite)?  
The usual directory there would be /var

In any case, the whole /private directory tree is now part of the SIP (System 
Integrity Protection) system under Yosemite, and to open and manipulate files 
there you will have to either turn SIP off or jump through hoops.  If you do a 
ls -al in /private, you will see that var is

drwxr-xr-x 29 root wheel 986 Oct 23 11:20 var

note the “root” and “wheel” owner and group names. I’d suggest moving your 
tests to a different directory that isn’t part of SIP, and debug there. If you 
MUST work under /private, you will have your work cut out for you.

Are there any unusual characters in ?  That's usually more
of a Windows issue, but I'm grasping at straws here :-)

So the actual command name for running Preview is "open"?  Have you tried
setting the SCIPY_PIL_IMAGE_VIEWER variable to that name?

You mean you can't use Preview's file-selection interface to select the
desired file?  The /private directory is not navigable?  Does it even
show up as a choice?

Is there something special about the /private directory?

Thanks for the quick reply! 

So scipy is making temporary files in /private/vars/folders/w4//

1. When in the correct folder within Terminal, on the command line I can do: 
open  
And it will open it in Preivew.

2. However, when opening Preview first, it is impossible (for me) to navigate 
to the /private directory to open the file that way, even with: 
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
turned on.

3. When I run imshow() (my attempt to 'launch Preview from scipy as you 
suggested). The UID of the process is 501, which is the same as when I do echo 
$UID. So I'm assuming the launched Preview is running as myself.

4. When the temporary file is originally created its permissions are -rw--

Does any of that information help? Thanks again.

I don't really know much about Macs...

Can you run Preview and open the temporary file successfully?

When launched from scipy, Does Preview run as a user other than yourself?

What are the permissions on the temporary file when it's originally
created?

Hi John,

I am on a mac and have set the following:

SCIPY_PIL_IMAGE_VIEWER=/Applications/Preview.app/Contents/MacOS/Preview

And when using imshow(), sure enough Preview attempts to open the fie, but it 
throws the following error: The file "tmp1zuvo7wn.png" couldn't be opened 
because you don't have permission to view it.

I can open the temporary file manually no problem. And I have played around 
with chmod 0644 , but nothing seems to work.

I have a feeling this is El Capitan specific. Do you have any suggestions?

scipy calls an external image viewer program to display the image.

The name of this program is stored in the environment variable
SCIPY_PIL_IMAGE_VIEWER.  If that variable is not present, it uses
'see' by default.

Do you have a suitable image viewing program installed on your computer?
If so, try setting the SCIPY_PIL_IMAGE_VIEWER environment variable to the
name of that program.
