Minor bug in tempfile module (possibly __doc__ error)

James T. Dennis <jadestar at idiom.com> scribis:

If I change this line:
>                return "foo-%s" % arg
to:
                 return "%s-%s" % (tst, arg)

>        # bar.py
>        import foo
>        foo.tst = "bar"

>        foo-testing     <<<----- NOT "bar-testing"
Then "python bar.py" prints "bar-testing".

    0:tolot at jupiter:/tmp> cat foo.py
    tst = "foo"
    def getTst(arg):
            return "%s-%s" % (tst,arg)
    0:tolot at jupiter:/tmp> cat bar.py
    import foo
    foo.tst = "bar"
    print foo.getTst("testing")
    0:tolot at jupiter:/tmp> python bar.py 
    bar-testing

And regarding the tempfile.template problem, this looks like a bug.
Because all functions in tempfile taking a prefix argument use "def
function(... , prefix=template, ...)", only the value of template at
import time matters.
