You may look at

It does the same as you want to do, but without the "formatter".

Alternatively, you may try a "StringIO" instance as a file object.

Finally, I can use files in external methods.
You should, however, be careful as several threads can execute
the same external method concurrently. Therefore, your
files are better not global.
