+* Issue #10188 (partial resolution): tempfile.TemporaryDirectory emits
+  a warning on sys.stderr rather than throwing a misleading exception
+  if cleanup fails due to nulling out of modules during shutdown.
+  Also avoids an AttributeError when mkdtemp call fails and issues
+  a ResourceWarning on implicit cleanup via __del__.
