This function creates a temporary directory using :func:`mkdtemp`
(the supplied arguments are passed directly to the underlying function).
The resulting object can be used as a context manager (see
:ref:`context-managers`). On completion of the context (or destruction
of the temporary directory object), the newly created temporary directory

of the temporary directory object the newly created temporary directory

The directory name can be retrieved from the :attr:`name` attribute
of the returned object.
The directory name can be retrieved from the :attr:`name` attribute of the
returned object. When the returned object is used as a context manager, the
:attr:`name` will be assigned to the target of the :keyword:`as` clause in
the :keyword:`with` statement, if there is one.
The directory can be explicitly cleaned up by calling the
:func:`cleanup` method.
