You seem to have copied-and-pasted my response into a new email, and then added your comments. Am I right? The normal way to reply to an email is to use Reply or Reply All.

You shouldn't normally care about where temporary files are stored, since they're temporary and will disappear as soon as you are done with them. But yes, tempfile has the ability to control where the files are stored. Both tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile and tempfile.TemporaryFile take an optional directory argument. To read the documentation, run these two commands at the interactive prompt: import tempfile help(tempfile) or read it on the web: http://docs.python.org/2/library/tempfile.html http://docs.python.org/3/library/tempfile.html > If " yes " then can this also be an alternative and does this > have any drawback ? Alternative to what? If you mean, alternative to *not* storing it in the user's directory, then yes, it is :-) Drawbacks -- yes. I hate it when applications dump temporary files in my home directory. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
