Paul, If "rescuing" (i.e. "fixing" ;) NamedTemporaryFile was arduous, complicated, or had serious backwards-compatibility issues then I would completely agree with you. However, the fix is simple, the only backwards-compatible issue is the file would still be there /while a context manager was in use/ after it had been closed (which conforms to most, if not all, users of context managers) and a file would be left on disk in the event of a hard crash (hopefully a rare occurrence). Your proposal, on the other, is a lot of work. Is the minor backwards compatibility worth all that work? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue14243> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
