  Version         : 2.1.0
  Upstream Author : Marc Brinkmann <git@marcbrinkmann.de>

  Description     : small extension for the Python tempfile module

 Volatile provides an alternative to tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile that
 does not delete the file on close(), but instead unlinks it after the
 context manager ends.  It also supports temporary mkdtemp-based
 directories, and temporary Unix domain sockets.
 .
 It does not support custom schemes or signatures beyond what the
 Python Standard Library supports.
 .
 Volatile's API is documented in the comments of its source.

I am packaging this library as a dependency of Bowler >=0.9.0 and plan
to maintain it in the Python Team.  I am open to co-maintainers and
will need a sponsor.

Regards,
Nicholas
