I'm not sure the relationship with mkdir and mktemp here. I don't see any uses of tempfile.mktemp in pip or setuptools, though they do use os.mkdir (which is not deprecated).

Both pip and setuptools use pytest's tmpdirfactory.mktemp() in their test suites, but I believe that is not the same thing.

My fault!

Initially I searched mktemp, and have found usages in distutils, tests, and few other modules in the stdlib. When I wrote the last message I repeat the search on the wider set of Python sources, but for mkdir instead of mktemp! Thank you for catching this mistake Paul.

Actually, seems mktemp is used exclusively in tests in third-party projects.
