New submission from Antony Lee: I would like to suggest allowing passing "delete=False" to the TemporaryDirectory constructor, with the effect that the directory is not deleted when the TemporaryDirectory context manager exits, or when the TemporaryDirectory object is deleted.
I realize that this would effectively duplicate the functionality of mkdtemp, but this is similar to the redundancy between NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False) and mkstemp, and would make it easier to switch between the two behaviors (which is useful e.g. when debugging, where you may need to look at the temporary files "post-mortem"). ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 250158 nosy: Antony.Lee priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Allow passing "delete=False" to TemporaryDirectory versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25024> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
