A simple container for handling multiple tempfiles

Example:

>>> import tempstore
>>> s = tempstore.TempStore('somedata')
>>> s.create('banana')
'/var/folders/ng/c57k6x7n1qn9f6hw_hw4zrlcnxhmy8/T/tmpsvzuj4bd/tmp3gh1vid9'
>>> s.copy('./')
>>> s.cleanup()
>>>

Available on PyPi

pip install tempstore

Create a new TempStore.

Create a new tempfile. This returns the path to the tempfile, and it can be accessed again later with either TempStore.paths[name] or TempStore.objs[name].name.

Access the paths of items in the TempStore

Access the tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile objects of items in the TempStore

Remove all the temporary files in the TempStore

Copy all items in the TempStore to a given path. If TempStore.name is not None, a new directory will be created in path with the name, and all files will be copied there.

exist_ok will be passed to os.makedirs if TempStore.name is not None
