Quick way to save a python TempFile?

I am using tempfile.TemporaryFile for some intermediate processing. The program nicely removes the temp file for me when it closes, which is precisely the behaviour that I want the majority of the time. But is there a way to save the file for examination in the event of a (trapped) error or other abnormal circumstance?

Solution

  • Seek to the beginning and use shutil.copyfileobj() to copy the data to a file you create.
