While the
try/except
block does prevent most of the temp files from persisting, if there is a non catchable exception, those temp files continue to pollute the directory. Optionally set the temp directory would let us write to something like/tmp
, so the target directory isn't polluted.This does mean that the target and source filesystems could be different, hence I've used
shutil
here. I didn't want to modify the original behavior, specifically for the Windows bit, so I've kept it as is.shutil
will useos.rename
if the filesystems are the same, so we don't lose that atomic behavior in that case.
