R. David Murray added the comment:
You'd have to do that anyway if we implemented a delete=False constructor
argument, since you want it deleted if there are any errors, and that's not
what a delete=False API would do.
If it were me, I'd write it (untested)
@contextlib.contextmanager
def open_for_atomic_replace(fn):
try:
fd, name = tempfile.mkstemp()
with io.open(fd) as fff:
yield fff
fff.flush()
os.fdatasync(fff)
os.rename(name, fn)
except BaseException:
os.unlink(name)
raise
which would make your code simpler than it is now.
Naming it 'open_for_atomic_replace' reminded me of issue 8604, which is what
you really want, not delete=False.
