stdopen 0.2.3

Streamlining file opening from files/stdin/stdout and write via temp

Getting started with stdopen

version: 0.2.3

This is a wrapper around Python's open (or other open methods), that will automate file-like object creation either by opening a file or from STDIN/STDOUT. It also provides the option writing to a temp file which is seamlessly copied over to the desired output directory upon successful closing, or deleted upon error. It will also pass through (back) any iterators.

All of the functionality described above is particulay useful when implementing cmd-line programs.

There is online documentation for stdopen.
