They usually should(tm) get cleaned up, i.e., deleted afterwards. Haven't looked at the code, but I know I had such directories when testing @parallel, and they properly got removed by Sage, not me. This was with $DOT_SAGE on a local filesystem though. (The .../temp/<hostname>/ directory remains, but I guess that's not a problem for you... :) ) Worth opening a ticket if you can reproduce it. -leif -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
