    When running tests, the tempoary directory is not left clean: there are temporary files which are not removed.

    I wrote a PoC change to detect such bugs and I found that at least test_shutil and test_urllib leak such temporary files/directories.

    Using PR 14415, the following test of test_multiprocessing_spawn emits a false alarm because multiprocessing use "Finalizer" objects which are only finalized "later":
    test.test_multiprocessing_spawn.WithManagerTestMyManager.test_mymanager_context_prestarted

    Workaround, call explicitly _run_finalizers():

    It seems like tests don't leak temporary files anymore:

    $ mkdir ~/TEMP
$ TMPDIR=~/TEMP TEMPDIR=~/TEMP ./python -m test -v -r -u all,-gui 
$ ls ~/TEMP
# empty directory

    I close the issue.
