Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment: This seems ill-advised:
* If a deterministic filename is needed, tempfile probably shouldn't be used. * Mock objects are typically used when alternative behavior is needed for testing. * The proposed feature would preclude a possible future development path to use SystemRandom which wouldn't be able to accept a seed. * Having the same filename used on successive runs will likely cause other problems. Generally, a user of tempname can assume that filename doesn't already exist and the proposed option would undermine that assumption. * I suspect if there were a real need here, we would have heard about it a long time ago. This module is over two decades old. ---------- components: +Library (Lib) versions: +Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32276> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
