function
IPython.core.interactiveshell:InteractiveShell.mktempfile
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.
