I have a quick question about Python tempfile.
When shoudl I use tempfile? If I use tempfile.mkstemp to create a temporary file, is this same as a normal file? What are the differences? Thanks.
The documentation pretty much says it all. In my view, you should use
tempfilewhen you need to create a file but don’t care about its name. You can have the file deleted automatically when you’re done or saved, if you wish. It can also be visible to other programs or not.
