Hi,

tempfile.mkstemp returns a file name and a file descriptor (as returned
by os.open). Can I somehow convert this descriptor to a file object?

Thanks!
Nathan

the builtin open function should work.

http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/functions.html#open

Also, it's probably better to just use a tempfile.TemporaryFile or
tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile instead of directly using mkstemp.

Thomas Jollans' advice is likely best, but to answer your specific question, use
os.fdopen() to make a file object corresponding to the file descriptor.

py> import os
py> help(os.fdopen)
Help on built-in function fdopen in module nt:

fdopen(...)
fdopen(fd [, mode='r' [, bufsize]]) -> file_object

Return an open file object connected to a file descriptor.
