[New-bugs-announce] [issue45833] NamedTemporaryFile deleted before enclosing context manager exit

[Brian McCutchon]

New submission from Brian McCutchon <bmccutchon at google.com>:

Consider the following code:

import contextlib
import os

@contextlib.contextmanager
def my_tmp_file():
  with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile('w') as f:
    yield f

os.stat(my_tmp_file().__enter__().name)  # File not found
os.stat(contextlib.ExitStack().enter_context(my_tmp_file()).name)  # Same

I would expect the file to still exist, as __exit__ has not been called and I can't see why the file would have been closed. Also, it performs as expected when using NamedTemporaryFile directly, but not when it is nested in another context manager. It also performs as expected when my_tmp_file() or contextlib.ExitStack() is used in a "with" statement.
