[issue40701] tempfile mixes str and bytes in an inconsistent manner

[Serhiy Storchaka]

In any case this is a new feature, so it can be added only in 3.10, and we need the documentation patch for 3.9 and older.

As a workaround you can use os.fsdecode():

tempfile.tempdir = os.fsdecode(b'/doesntexist')
