How to write file to memory filepath and read from memory filepath in Python?

Question

An existing Python package requires a filepath as input parameter for a method to be able to parse the file from the filepath. I want to use this very specific Python package in a cloud environment, where I can't write files to the harddrive. I don't have direct control over the code in the existing Python package, and it's not easy to switch to another environment, where I would be able to write files to the harddrive. So I'm looking for a solution that is able to write a file to a memory filepath, and let the parser read directly from this memory filepath. Is this possible in Python? Or are there any other solutions?

Example Python code that works by using harddrive, which should be changed so that no harddrive is used:

temp_filepath = "./temp.txt"
with open(temp_filepath, "wb") as file:
  file.write("some binary data")
model = Model()
model.parse(temp_filepath)

Example Python code that uses memory filesystem to store file, but which does not let parser read file from memory filesystem:

from fs import open_fs
temp_filepath = "./temp.txt"
with open_fs('osfs://~/') as home_fs:
  home_fs.writetext(temp_filepath, "some binary data")
model = Model()
model.parse(temp_filepath)

You're probably looking for StringIO or BytesIO from io

import io

with io.BytesIO() as tmp:
    tmp.write(content)
    # to continue working, rewind file pointer
    tmp.seek(0)
    # work with tmp 

pathlib may also be an advantage
