Detailed Description

Change directory, handle temporary directories.

This module provides a means by which to change to a different directory in a Python "with" block and change back out afterwards, regardless of what happens inside the block. It can, optionally, create a new directory, and optionally delete it at the end of the block. There are two classes:

• TempDir - creates a temporary directory with a randomly-generated name, chdirs to the directory, and chdirs back out afterwards. It can be configured to delete the directory afterwards (the default) or not.
• NamedDir - a subclass of TempDir that uses a specific directory rather than a randomly-generated one. By default, the directory is NOT deleted at the end of the block. That can be configured.

Classes
class	NamedDir
	This subclass of TempDir takes a directory name, instead of generating one automatically. More...
class	TempDir
	This class is intended to be used with the Python "with TempDir() as t" syntax. More...

Variables
list	__all__ = ['TempDir','NamedDir','perm_remove','perm_add']
	List of symbols to export by "from produtil.cd import *".
	perm_add = stat.S_IRUSR|stat.S_IWUSR|stat.S_IXUSR|\
	Default permissions to add to new directories created by TempDir: user has all possible access. More...
	perm_remove = stat.S_IWOTH|stat.S_ISUID
	Permissions to remove from all directories: world write and setuid. More...
