Comment (by davidsarah):

 Replying to [comment:20 zooko]:
 > FWIW, there is a class in {{{fileutil.py}}} that does something similar:
 [source:src/allmydata/util/fileutil.py at 4957#L90].

 {{{NamedTemporaryDirectory}}} deletes the directory tree when the
 {{{NamedTemporaryDirectory}}} object is {{{__del__}}}'d, which is the
 wrong time. We need to delete it when the test has finished (which,
 because of Deferreds, will be some time ''after'' the test method
 returns). There's no simpler way to do this than using {{{addCleanup}}},
 as the current code does.
