[Python-Dev] Why does TemporaryDirectory not wait for `__enter__`?

[cool-RR]

Hello,

I noticed that the `TemporaryDirectory` context manager creates the folder
on `__init__` rather than on `__enter__`, resulting in complexity, bugs, and
hackarounds in `__del__`. I assume there's a good reason for this decision.
What is it?


Thanks,
Ram.
