pidelport / backports.tempfile Goto Github PK

Hello,

I noticed a tempfile backport has been started, but that it has only defined NamedDirectory. Kind of random, but -- I would really appreciate it if you (whoever is in charge of this backport) would consider backporting the TemporaryFile & its subclasses like NamedTemporaryFile, etc. The feature that I am really missing our in Python2.7 & and am wanting, is the ability to specify an encoding, as is possible in py2 with codecs.open, io.open, etc., and in py3 with all file-writing utilities, including tempfile.

Thanks much!

Pull requests here are not getting attention. I have two open that have no reply in almost six months. Other people have had similar experiences. I suspect it will only get worse after 2020, when Python 2 is officially killed. The ongoing maintenance of these backports should not be stopped at that time, if there is a community of users still wanting them, and willing to assist.

I noticed at #4 (comment) that @PiDelport said they were open to the idea of these backports being transfered to @jazzband . I think that would be a good idea. It would then join similar backports like https://github.com/jazzband/contextlib2 (ping @ncoghlan).
