*PLEASE*, don't use tempfile to create files/directories in tests. It is unfriendly to (Windows) buildbots. The current approach of directory-per-process ensures no test turds are left behind, whereas the tempfile solution slowly fills up my buildbot. Windows doesn't natively clean out the temp directory.
FYI, Windows 10 storage sense (under system->storage) can be configured to delete temporary files on a schedule. Of course that doesn't help with older systems.
