Chris, I know "beggars can't be choosers", but seriously, I think it would be a big improvement of the code to put the above text into a nice sweet little comment block inside TemporaryFolder.py. The existing comments are inadequate (this is an amazing understatement). It will do exactly as you wrote it.
<rant> Yes, it's open-source. Yes, no one is paying you for it. So what? You released it because you want it to be used and improved. You want people to help you with it. You want people to document it for you (also for free, I might add). And you don't really want to waste your time answering the same questions over and over again. So why are you shooting yourself in the foot by making it difficult for them? Comments are cheap, and a real bargain in the long run. </rant>
Done.
Anyway I disagree on the design decision. No offense, but I have to live with it, so I'll gamble on my own judgement.
Sure.
Anyway -- thanks for the description of how TemporaryFolder is meant to work. And I guess you must be the author of the module itself, in which case, thanks for that too, it's a nice addition to Zope.
No problem, glad it was useful. - C
