> tempfile.mktemp() still exists and works without raising a deprecation warning. Of course it's still marked as deprecated in the docs.

Right. So, the issue is not resolved: Functionality to create a temporary file path is maintained in the standard library (good) but the public API for it is unsupported.

> Does anyone still want this tempfile.makepath() function?

That's a proposed name. But yes, a supported function in the `tempfile` standard library module, which does what's described in this issue.

> Or can this issue be closed?

The issue remains unresolved. Unless you can point us to something new which resolves this?

So no, while unresolved, this bug report should not be closed.
