Python - How do I convert “an OS-level handle to an open file” to a file object?

Question

tempfile.mkstemp() returns:

a tuple containing an OS-level handle to an open file (as would be returned by os.open()) and the absolute pathname of that fi

Answer 1

Here's how to do it using a with statement:

from __future__ import with_statement
from contextlib import closing
fd, filepath = tempfile.mkstemp()
with closing(os.fdopen(fd, 'w')) as tf:
    tf.write('foo\n')
