[Numpy-discussion] fromfile and tofile access with a tempfile.TemporaryFile()

[Tim Hirzel]

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for checking that.  I am running numpy 1.0.1 in python 2.4 on 
win32 (xp).   Are you on linux?  I double checked the behavior in 1.0 
and 1.0.1, just to be extra sure, and it thows the IOError in both cases.
