[issue40701] tempfile mixes str and bytes in an inconsistent manner

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

I expect the best decision to be to get rid of tempfile.tempdir entirely.  That would need be its own issue with a deprecation period involved.

A process global that alters behavior of all calls into a module that don't explicitly opt-out is a bad API.
