This is everything that's wrong with modern software. Do not introduce a pointless dependency like python because of a lack of knowledge about the build system of choice. Just use something more appropriate (that isn't python).
- 10000truths 3y agoYou're missing the point. The important part isn't the Python, it's the opening of a file with O_TMPFILE, writing to it, and linking it into the filesystem in order to guarantee an atomic result without risking leaking temporary files. If your requirements forbid the use of Python for whatever reason, you are welcome to substitute it with any other program that can perform the aforementioned operations.
