![]() ![]() ![]() Following code shows usage of TemporaryFile() function. What is important, the file’s entry in temp folder is removed as soon as the file object is closed. The file is opened in wb+ mode by default, which means it can be simultaneously used to read/write binary data in it. This function creates a temporary file in the temp directory and returns a file object, similar to built-in open() function. ![]() For example, under Windows the temp folder resides in profile/AppData/Local/Temp while in linux the temporary files are held in /tmp directory.įollowing functions are defined in tempfile module TemporaryFile() They are created in special temp directories that are defined by operating system file systems. The tempfile module in standard library defines functions for creating temporary files and directories. ![]() Jeremy entry was posted in Code and tagged by Jeremy Moore, Code, Python by Jeremy Moore. This code doesn’t use best practices as I should be creating the directory path differently, but hey, it worked and I was able to create the directories, move the files, and write this blog post in significantly less time than it would have taken to do it manually. # get all but the last 8 characters to remove This was very quickly done in Python 3.6 on Windows 10 using less than 20 lines of code: import os This type of repetitive work is better handled by the computer because it will not only create the folders and move the files more quickly, it is much less likely to make mistakes (assuming I provide the proper instructions). I have the images and I know what my digital folder names need to be, but if I did all of this work by hand it would not only take a significant amount of time, I would probably make a few mistakes. The folder therefore only needs sections 1-3 of the filename, i.e. We organize the images in digital folders to match the physical folders, so every image in the SMDR collection from 1959 in physical folder 185 needs to be in a digital folder 185.
