What has precedence? Nothing I guess. It's rather a bug in the doc or in the code. Should I contact the original author(s) of tempfile.py, which seem to be Guido and Tim Peters?
Not necessarily. If your common sense dictates that one is better than the other, just explain it so. If you change the code, consider that existing code may break. Don't worry about the potential breakage, instead, document it - both in Misc/NEWS, and, if breakage is likely, in Doc/whatsnew/whatsnew24.tex. Document the change itself in the documentation, using \versionchanged.
[You might notice that I have abstained from actually thinking about the change itself :-]
Regards, Martin
