>Andrey.Unfortunately it wasn't as simple it seemed: upon testing with only changing delete=True, found that the problem was not solved. Upon further debugging, recoded/refactored slightly adding allocateTempFileName() locally scoped function to try to clarify how the NamedTemporaryFile() was actually being used.
We can't depend on the delete-on-close because the NamedTemporaryFile() is merely allocating a temporary name for real use by the zipfile open-for-write which fails (on Windows) if file was not explicitly closed first.
Hopefully the new patch (https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/301) will make this more clear.
Open to other suggestions if still not clear.
Thanks again, Philip
