Paul,

If "rescuing"  (i.e. "fixing" ;) NamedTemporaryFile was arduous, complicated, or had serious backwards-compatibility issues then I would completely agree with you.  However, the fix is simple, the only backwards-compatible issue is the file would still be there /while a context manager was in use/ after it had been closed (which conforms to most, if not all, users of context managers) and a file would be left on disk in the event of a hard crash (hopefully a rare occurrence).

Your proposal, on the other, is a lot of work.  Is the minor backwards compatibility worth all that work?
