Should add a self.addCleanup on that tmpdir—see the test above (test_bad_mode) for an example, just to make sure that if this test ever does fail that we don't have a temp dir that doesn't get cleaned up by us.

Why does this use os.system to call rm, rather than calling os.unlink? 'rm' is not exactly cross-platform. This test will also fail on Windows (and other systems where you can't delete files that are currently in use). It'll have to be skipped on those platforms.

self.assertEqual(os.listdir(tmpdir), [])
