New submission from Dave Abrahams d...@boostpro.com:
NamedTemporaryFile is too hard to use portably when you need to open the file
by name after writing it. To do that, you need to close the file first (on
Windows), which means you have to pass delete=False, which in turn means that
you get no help in cleaning up the actual file resource, which as you can see
from the code in tempfile.py is devilishly hard to do correctly. The fact that
it's different on posix (you can open the file for reading by name without
closing it first) makes this problem worse. What we really need for this
use-case is a way to say, delete on __del__ but not on close().
