These tests are very related to an actual bug-fix (
http://bugs.python.org/issue18849). Moreover, they cover a previously
uncovered feature which resulted in very intermittent heisen-bugs where
temp file creation was occasionally failing on some platforms. IMHO having
this covered is worth the small maintenance burden of the tests - who
knows, it may uncover real problems. What do you think? |
