Sounds good. It will also help performance on my Windows VM :) Bikeshedding: since it won't be a widely-used option, perhaps "-P" is better than "-p"? Not-so-much-bikeshedding: mkdtemp() could be used inside a (e.g.) "/tmp/test_python" top dir, to make manual cleanup extra easy. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11677> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
