Daniel Lenski <dlen...@gmail.com> added the comment: Richard, I think the problem with this is that it spreads the non-portable or OS-dependent parts of the code over several places rather than concentrating them all in one place.
After close_without_unlink(), what would happen when the context manager exits or when the object is garbage collected? Would it then get unlinked? My preference would be to specify the behavior of close/__exit__/GC operations at the time of the NamedTemporaryFile creation, so that the rest of the code can be left unchanged. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14243> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
