If Windows doesn't clean up its temp directory on a regular basis then that doesn't suggest to me not to use tempfile, but instead that the use of tempfile still needs to clean up after itself. And if there is a lacking feature in tempfile then we should add it instead of a avoiding the module. -Brett _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/brett%40python.org >
