[Python-Dev] PEP 42 - New kind of Temporary file

[Guido van Rossum]

I think it's a very minor feature at best -- but I do admit to having
implemented this at least once so I'm not against adding it as a new
feature to the tempfile module. It's getting awfully late for 2.5
though... (feature freeze is at 2.5b1 which is planned for June 14
IIRC).
