Martin Panter added the comment: I think I have often passed delete=False because of the documented deficiency with Windows (see Issue 14243). Depending on the outcome of that issue, allowing for deletion after close() might be useful too.
BTW, monkey-patching __del__() probably won’t work if you only set an attribute on the “f” instance, instead of modifying the class itself.
