I think we should correct it. I'm sure users don't care that we
implement this with TemporaryFile. That being said, I wonder how many
applications on Windows we may break by fixing this? Version 3.1.4 also
used TemporaryFile, so this is not a new bug.
Yeah, I never noticed it either until someone pointed it out to me. I
appreciated the change to TemporaryFile, but being primarily a Linux user I
never noticed that this broke my code in Windows.
In any case, I'm still gonna have to implement a workaround in my own code
to catch people using the different versions of mod_python out there, so I
can live with whatever decision you guys make. But here's +1 for making the
interface consistent at least for mod_python users. As for code breakage, I
would consider this a "bug" introduced in 3.1.4, which was the last official
release of mod_python, which will be corrected in release 3.3.
