[New-bugs-announce] [issue31057] pydoc for tempfile.TemporaryDirectory should say it returns the name

[Thomas Thurman]

New submission from Thomas Thurman:

Currently the pydoc for tempfile.TemporaryDirectory begins

"Create and return a temporary directory."

It doesn't explain anywhere *what* it returns (in fact, it returns the name of the directory as a string). The return type is further obscured by TemporaryDirectory being a context manager.
