asynctempfile

DEPRECATED

**This code has been incorporated into the aiofiles depedency and will no longer be maintained here. Please see github.com/Tinche/aiofiles

---

Async interface for the standard tempfile module. Implements the following 4 interfaces:

• TemporaryFile
• NamedTemporaryFile
• SpooledTemporaryFile
• TemporaryDirectory

Blocking methods are delegated to threadpools using loop.run_in_executor(). Non-blocking methods and properties retain a sync interface. SpooledTemporaryFile only delegates if the in-memory stream is rolled to disk. New instances of the above classes return wrapped with a context manager allowing use with async with and async for.

Installation

pip install asynctempfile

Examples

import asynctempfile

async with asynctempfile.TemporaryFile('wb+') as f:
    await f.write(b'Hello, World!')

import asynctempfile

async with asynctempfile.NamedTemporaryFile('wb+') as f:
    await f.write(b'Line1\n Line2')
    await f.seek(0)
    async for line in f:
        print(line)

Release Notes

0.5.0

• Adjusted TemporaryDirectory to return its path as opposed to the object when used with a context manager, aligning behaviour with the sync library (thank you to hellocoldworld).
• Fixed name attribute for TemporaryFile as this property is now included in the aiofiles wrapper.
