[reportlab-users] Building/Storing PDF's in memory

[J. R. Carroll]

I have not!  Thank you, I'll look into that.  (I've not attempted to this
before, so I'm trying to find the right tools).

Do you know if  tempfile builds in memory, or does it just temp write to
the disk (and then is responsible for deleting the data)?  Only asking
because I've never used tempfile before either and I'm curious to know if
that is a potential solution as well - I have no affinity one way or the
other.
