Context manager for changing the current working directory

class MPF.IOHelpers.workInTempDir(baseDir=None, skipCleanup=False, prefix='tmp_', cleanAtExit=False)

Context manager for changing to a temporary directory that will be deleted afterwards. The given dir will be the base directory in which the tempdir is created. If not given, the system tmp directory will be used. If skipCleanup is given the directory is not deleted afterwards. Use prefix to control the naming format. If cleanAtExit is set the tmp directory is cleaned at exit of the script, not when exiting the context.

cleanup()
