Why do you say that? tempfile.mkstemp() does essentially the same as os.tmpfile(). > The promise of tempfile.mkstemp is also bogus for every OS except > Windows. IIRC only Windows supports O_NOINHERIT. Please read the code. It tries to set the CLOEXEC flag on Unix, which should work on most systems. > Let me rephrase the rational for my patch: I want to remove duplicate > code to have just but one implementation to create a temporary file > (name).

I want an unified way to > get the TEMP dir independent of the API. As I said, I agree with most of this rationale, except that I'm uncertain whether it is good to trade a stupid C library for a stupid Python implementation. With this rationale, again, I think tmpfile should be removed as well.
