tempdirs -- Safely create temporary directories
Project description
Description
tempdirs is a library which allows users to safely and cleanly create any number of temporary directories. Temporary directories are automatically deleted. It was created as a testing utility.
Installation
Install using pip:
pip install pyusps
or easy_install:
easy_install pyusps
Examples
You can tempdirs.makedirs as a decorator passing in the number of temporary directories needed:
import os import tempdirs @tempdirs.makedirs(2) def test_foo(srcdir, dstdir): srcfile = os.path.join(srcdir,'foo') dstfile = os.path.join(dstdir,'bar') with open(srcfile, 'w') as fp: fp.write('src content\n') with open(dstfile, 'w') as fp: fp.write('dst content\n')
You can also use tempdirs.makedirs as a Context Manager:
import os import tempdirs with tempdirs.makedirs(2) as (srcdir, dstdir): srcfile = os.path.join(srcdir,'foo') dstfile = os.path.join(dstdir,'bar') with open(srcfile, 'w') as fp: fp.write('src content\n') with open(dstfile, 'w') as fp: fp.write('dst content\n')
