Hi,
I have functions that take a file object and write to it. In some cases I
just want to throw out what is written to that file object. I want
something like open('/dev/null', 'w'), but portable.
It needs to have an underlying file descriptor/file handle, as it will be
passed to non python code.
Is there a portable /dev/null somewhere in the standard library?
Thanks,
Brendan 6 2611

I don't think so. You could define a dummy class emulating the file-
object API. Something like:
class NullDevice:
"A writeable object that writes to nowhere -- like /dev/null."
def write(self, s):
pass
closed = False
def close(self):
self.closed = True

The subprocess module should work fine. Pass a pipe to the subprocess,
and read and discard anything from the pipe (e.g. in a separate thread).
If the non-Python code is inprocess, you are out of luck. Some systems
just don't support a null device, so Python can't possibly emulate it.

pyimport os
pyprint os.devnull

Hi everyone,
Is there an object in some standard library that would be the portable
equivalent of "file('/dev/null','w')" or do I have to create my own
class and object to do it? If it doesn't exist, do you think it would
be a good idea to have such an object in a standard library?
Thx and Regards,
Nicolas

Hi,
I'm trying to find a decent way of measuring the running time of a

Say, the running time ranges from several seconds to more than a day.
The standard clock() function seems inadequate for this task.
(I read somewhere in this group that clock_t would likely overflow
after <1 hour).
