The error message is weird... but I guess the problem is the default mode 'w+b'.


Python 3.3a0 (default:78a66c98288d, Apr  9 2011, 16:13:31) 
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tempfile
>>> fp = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
>>> fp.write('hello')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface
>>> fp2 = tempfile.TemporaryFile('w+')
>>> fp2.write('hello')
