How to create temporary files in memory visible for other process, using python

Question

Hello!

I'm trying to write simple batch file generator in python. Batch file consist of about 30-50 lines of text and is passed to other applications. During the execution of script there a lot of calls to external applications. I want to create file in memory (like named pipes in win32). Is there any platform-independent way?

UPD: Thanks for suggestions. Finally decided to use sockets for message passing between applications using cogen.

If you don't mind running a separate server, I'd use Memcached. It's very simple to use and very robust.
