Content
The tempfile.TemporaryDirectory is incorrectly documented at https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.TemporaryDirectory. It is described as a function, though actually being a class (unlinke tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile). The respective property "name" and method "cleanup" are only documented in the continuous text but not explicitely highlighted as the properties and method of e.g. TarFile (https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-objects).
