New submission from Pat Gunn <pgun...@gmail.com>:
Right now, when tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() is used as a context manager, the context variable is stringy, usable as a string containing the directory name it made. When used directly, it returns an object that does not coerce to a nice string, instead requiring the .name method to be called. I propose adding a __str__() to the class that causes it to serialise nicely into a string containing just the directory name, so the (in my view surprising) differences in behaviour are minimised. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 353327 nosy: Pat Gunn priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() should behave the same as a context manager as when used directly type: behavior versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38287> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
