Can you also update line 193 to replace 'handle' with 'file descriptor' (for consistency with os.close)? |

I do not know the difference between the two words in OS context. I am not sure. |

This PR is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity. |
| for deleting the temporary file when done with it. If a large number of file | ||
| descriptors are created, your program may run into a per-process limit and raise an :exc:`OSError`. | ||
| You can avoid this issue by closing file descriptors with :func:`os.close`. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would just say something like "the user of :func:mskstemp is responsible for deleting the temporary file and closing the file descriptor". Lots of things can cause you to run out of FDs, this isn't the place to describe the exact behavior.
