[issue31959] Directory at `TemporaryDirectory().name` does not exist

[Serhiy Storchaka]

This is by design. The first TemporaryDirectory object is destroyed before the first print statement. For not be surprised use TemporaryDirectory with the "with" statement.

with TemporaryDirectory() as td:
    name = td.name
    print(os.path.exists(name))  # prints True

print(os.path.exists(name))  # prints False
