[17:30] <powersj> smoser, time to chat?
[17:35] <smoser> powersj, sure.
[17:36] <powersj> smoser, sent your email a ho link
[18:24] <rharper> smoser: when you're free, I wanted to chat about some snappy cloud-config
[18:25] <smoser> ok. can i have 30 minutes to write some thoughts for powersj ? 3:00 eastern ?
[18:26] <rharper> sure
[19:02] <smoser> https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/canonical.com/hangout-smoser <-- rharper
[19:04] <rharper> y
[20:42] <rharper> smoser: hrm, so I want to use ExtendedTempFile (which gives me the filehandle of the tempfile) and pass that into write_file; but it doesn't appear to take a fh ... ;  that'd be nice unless there's a better way (like maybe added use_tempfile=True to write_file) ?
[20:50] <smoser> rharper, hm.
[20:50] <smoser> so many things have been done so many times.
[20:51] <smoser> would atomic_helper.write_file() be useful ?
[20:51]  * rharper looks
[20:51] <rharper> I think I'm OK to use it with my own context with util.ExtendedTempFile ;
[20:52] <rharper> users of write_file know the name of the file they want to write
[20:52] <rharper> I think adding temp to it would make it confusing
