Hi, I noticed that for a few months, the Python test suite started to leak more and more files /tmp. After a few weeks, a machine can have between 2,000 and 50,000 temporary files created by Python. The filenames are random, but I noticed the issue on buildbot worker machines which only run Python. So I'm convinced that it's a Python bug. Moreover, the files are owned by the buildbot user (which is used to run the buildbot client and so all child processes).
I created an issue to investigate the root issue and try to design a generic solution: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/93353 IMO the test suite should create a temporary directory per test worker process and marks a test as failure if this temporary directory is non-empty when the test completes.
