Guido van Rossum 6b708d569c In class TemporaryFileWrapper, don't cache attributes of tpye int --
these happen to be 'closed' and 'softspace', which may change!

Noted by Dave Ascher (with slightly different solution).

Guido van Rossum 2457fc2a81 Improvement to the previous fix suggested by Thomas Bellman: if the
unlink() or fdopen() fail, close the file descriptor and re-raise the
exception.

Guido van Rossum dce3d5502e The TemporaryFile() function has a security leak -- because the
filenames generated are easily predictable, it is possible to trick an
unsuspecting program into overwriting another file by creating a
symbolic link with the predicted name.  Fix this by using the
low-level os.open() function with the O_EXCL flag and mode 0700.  On
non-Unix platforms, presumably there are no symbolic links so the
problem doesn't exist.  The explicit test for Unix (posix, actually)
makes it possible to change the non-Unix logic to work without a
try-except clause.

The mktemp() file is as unsafe as ever.

Guido van Rossum b0e5718643 Fix so that after a fork() -- on Unix only -- the template gets
recalculated.

Guido van Rossum 29e5f5d81f When getcwd() doesn't exist or raises an exception, don't fail but
fall back to using os.curdir instead; if it is fine, don't use
os.curdir at all.

Guido van Rossum 45e2fbc2e7 Mass check-in after untabifying all files that need it. 1998-03-26 21:13:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b8c42c9825 Add new optional parameter 'suffix' (default ''), which is appended to
the temporary file name.  Also some minor formatting of Jim F's code.

Guido van Rossum 80fb344a18 On NT, use a better template, ~XXX- where XXX is os.getpid(). 1997-12-15 19:11:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ca54982b2a Added TemporaryFile and wrapper class by Jim Fulton.
Look in more env vars (for NT: TEMP, TMP).
