On a similar note SpooledTemporaryFile is also documented as a function though 
it's a class. Ref : 
https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile

[issue33028] tempfile.TemporaryDirectory incorrectly documented

[Richard Neumann]

New submission from Richard Neumann :

The tempfile.TemporaryDirectory is incorrectly documented at 
https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.TemporaryDirectory.

It is described as a function, though actually being a class (unlinke 
tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile).
The respective property "name" and method "cleanup" are only documented in the 
continuous text but not explicitely highlighted as the properties and method of 
e.g. TarFile (https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-objects).
