Sorry if this has come up before, but why do we couple the tests in this way, so that failure to clean up in one test causes drive-by failures in other, unrelated tests?
Personally, I just use the tempfile module in tests that I write (historically via test.script_helper.temp_dir, these days via the public tempfile.TemporaryDirectory API).
Given the other things regrtest cleans up between tests, I'm not sure why it doesn't also kill TESTFN, though.
Cheers, Nick.
