Tab delimited file
Hello, I am making a gui for the purpose that I can change the values in a list of different criteria which is found in a text file, such as: Name(tab)rating(tab)breast size(tab)occurrences … … … However as far as I know Python does not allow you to easily change a specific line in a text file. You have to place the whole file to memory, change what you need to and then write the file back after deleting the previous information. Assuming this is true, how do i find where the tabs are in the file so that I can distinguish between the different criteria? Assuming this is not true, does anyone suggest another way to do it?

permanent tempfile?
Hello,
I am trying to create a temp file, however the file that is created
is still there after the program has completed.
Why is this so?
CoLe
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, tempfile, sys
import tempfile
# creates a random file (text=True is textfile, text=False is binary
file)
ext = '.txt'
pfx = 'tmp'
dir = '/home/argon/PR0001/source/emc2/bin'
filename = tempfile.mkstemp(suffix=ext, prefix=pfx, dir=dir,
text=True)[1]
print filename # eg. C:\Temp\tmpsnrfgk.txt
# test it ...
fout = open(filename, 'w')
fout.write("just a text file")
fout.close()
os.remove(filename)
