It's nice to fantasize about RAM disks, but the code in zipfile.py is begging for a simpler solution, just pass in a wrapper that overrides the write() method (you may have to make a few changes but you can develop and test this separately from the fix for your bug).
indeed -- pretty standard use case for mocking, yes? But in cases where you might need a more complete file system (and or where C code might be doing the writing) , it would be nice to be able to mock an entire filesystem. -CHB
