[Python-Dev] Backporting tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile context management fix

[Nick Coghlan]

In 2.5, tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile passes requests for __enter__ and 
__exit__ through to the underlying file object, which ends up breaking 
in a couple of different ways (by a fortuitous coincidence, it actually 
works in most respects on Windows, so tempfile.TemporaryFile will mostly 
do the right thing in with statements no matter what platform you are on).

This has been fixed on the trunk in response to issue 2021, but I'm not 
sure of the current status of the 2.5 maintenance branch. Should I wait 
until after 2.5.2 is released before backporting? Or backport it now?

Cheers,
Nick.
