You are killing me, first you take great pains to make sure that we
use secure temporary files and then you use pipes. Until python 2.3
that module also used mktemp.... I would jump from a cliff if I had one
near... ;-)
Ok, I think that I have a solution for that also, make the pipe
template return a file like object to be read.
What does it means $IN and $OUT in the next function?
def crop_files(pnmcrop, basename):
t = pipes.Template()
t.append("%s -left $IN" % pnmcrop, 'f-')
t.append("%s -right > $OUT" % pnmcrop, '-f')
for file in glob.glob("%s*.ppm" % basename):
tmp = mkstemp()
if t.copy(file, tmp):
copyfileobj(tmp, open(file,"wb"))

In this case I take an exception. ;-)
