[issue14243] tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile not particularly useful on Windows

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Well, fixing NamedTemporaryFile in either of the ways we've discussed isn't going to fix people writing non-portable code.  A unix coder isn't necessarily going to close the file before reading it.  However, it would at least significantly increase the odds that the code would be portable, while the current situation *ensures* that the code is not portable.
