[New-bugs-announce] [issue22967] tempfile.py does not work in windows8

[Kyle Lahnakoski]

New submission from Kyle Lahnakoski:

I installed python 2.7.8  on Windows version 6.2 (build 9200) and get-pip.py does not run.  I traced the problem to c:\python27\lib\tempfile.py   Here is my session:

>> c:\Users\kyle\Downloads>python
>> Python 2.7.8 (default, Jun 30 2014, 16:03:49) [MSC v.1500 32 bit Intel)] on win32
>> Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>> >>> import tempfile
>> Traceback (most recent call last):
>>   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
>>   File "c:\Python27\lib\tempfile.py", line 32, in <module>
>>     import io as _io
>>   File "io.py", line 72, in <module>
>>     import numpy as N
>> ImportError: No module named numpy

Ok, seems odd that numpy is required.  I installed numpy, and tried again:

>> >>> import tempfile
>> >>> tmpdir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
>> Traceback (most recent call last):
>>   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
>>   File "c:\Python27\lib\tempfile.py", line 325, in mkdtemp
>>     dir = gettempdir()
>>   File "c:\Python27\lib\tempfile.py", line 269, in gettempdir
>>     tempdir = _get_default_tempdir()
>>   File "c:\Python27\lib\tempfile.py", line 200, in _get_default_tempdir
>>     with _io.open(fd, 'wb', closefd=False) as fp:
>> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'open'

I expected that tempfile would import without issue.
