Description by guest:

I just noticed that nosetests 0.9.1 creates and leaves behind one temporary file each time it executes, running a test.

Under Windows, the file are left in C:\Windows\Temp and have names similar to tmpxxxxx. It is probably a file name created by tempfile module function somewhere.

These files should be deleted when nosetests terminates.

I am not running any plugins. The test is very simple. Even an empty test creates a temp file leak.
