Pyxie uses a tempfile:

http://www.digitome.com/pyxie.py

import tempfile
tempfilename = tempfile.mktemp()
global tfo
tfo = open (tempfilename,"w")

def StartElementHandler(name,attrs):
	global tfo
	tfo.write ("(%s\n" % name)
	i = 0
	while i < len(attrs):
		tfo.write ("A%s %s\n" % (attrs[i] , attrs[i+1]))
		i = i + 2
