| Hi! It would help newbies if you write in the documentation of tempfile.mktemp() That this function can be used to create unique filenames *or directories*. Something like this: mktemp() can be used to create filenames which can me used to create temporary files or directories. I know this, you know it, but newbies don't. Thank you for python and it's documentation! thomas | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 This problem should not be fixed: mktemp is documented as unsafe and should not be used. Use mkdtemp instead to create directories. |
