Actually closing the file delete it without any chance to use it...

Well I changed my code this way:

filename = tempfile.mktemp(suffix='.sql')
f = open(filename, 'wb')
try:
f.write(txt.encode('cp1252'))
f.close()
p = Popen([SQL_PLUS, '-s', dsn,
'@', SQL_PLUS_SCRIPT, f.name],
stdout=PIPE, stderr=STDOUT)
p.wait()
finally:
os.remove(filename)

I understand the security issues of temporary file (as explained in
Python doc) but maybe standard lib need a NamedTemporaryFile that
could be used by another process.

As I said: that most likely is a limitation of your operating system, not
Python.
