"tmpdir: XlsxWriter stores worksheet data in a temporary files prior to assembling the final XLSX file. The temporary files are created in the system’s temp directory. If the default temporary directory isn’t accessible to your application, or doesn’t contain enough space, you can specify an alternative location using the tempdir option:"

Could you please add this option to your C library?

Thanks in advance,

Eron

Hi Eron,

I implemented a workaround for this in the following patch:

211dacdfd8

However, it isn't ANSI C compliant so it isn't integrated into the master branch.

You can try it out in your own code to see if it works for you.

John.
