如何在Win 7中将temp目录添加为Python变量

Question

The temp directory in win 7 is %userprofile%\\AppData\\Local\\Temp and I'd like to add it to a python script as a variable to be used to create a text file there.

However, because of the % at the beginning, it makes python unable to identify it. I tried to add double %% , but that didn't work as well.

What should I do?

Answer 1

You should use the tempfile module instead:

import tempfile
my_temp = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile()

This is the platform-independent way to have a temporary file.
