Hello,
I'm using tempfile.mkdtemp() in a multithreading program and I've been
having problems with it. Sometimes it tells me the file I'm trying to
access (in the directory created with tempfile.mkdtemp()) doesn't
exist. I suspect that tempfile.mkdtemp() returns the same directory to
different threads sometimes. Does anyone know anything about this or
have a solution? I have to create unique and temp. directories to use
an external program that creates a temp. file with the same name every
time, thus if I want to call it from several threads, each call has to
be from a different directory.
Thank you,
Gabriel
I think I found what was wrong, I was using os.chDir(), and the current
directory is shared by all threads :

http://bugs.python.org/issue1367
I hope this helps anyone that ever has such a problem!
Gabriel
