In your OP you asked for a platform independent solution thus I don't
think it's possible to do what you want if the OS doesn't support
opening a file another time while it's still open.

Otherwise, on my Linux system this works:

>>> import tempfile, subprocess
>>> with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile() as fp:                                   
...   fp.write(b"foo\nbar\nbaz\n")
...   fp.flush()
...   subprocess.call(["cat", fp.name])
... 
12
foo
bar
baz
0

Bye, Andreas
