`IPython.core.interactiveshell:InteractiveShell.mktempfile`

source: /IPython/core/interactiveshell.py :3890

Signature

def mktempfile ( self , data = None , prefix = ipython_edit_ )

Summary

Make a new tempfile and return its filename.

Extended Summary

This makes a call to tempfile.mkstemp (created in a tempfile.mkdtemp), but it registers the created filename internally so ipython cleans it up at exit time.

Optional inputs:

data(None): if data is given, it gets written out to the temp file immediately, and the file is closed again.
