Bug report
Bug description:
Since fd81246 (in 3.14 as e590f00), we're seeing Gentoo Portage randomly fail with:
Apparently in this case the resulting path was:
Note that
tempfile.mktemp()used to append 8 ASCII characters, while this logic appends 12 hex digits, so the logic introduced in 1a07a01 would be off by 4 now.CPython versions tested on:
3.14, CPython main branch
Operating systems tested on:
Linux
