Fixed a code path where the temp dir would not be deleted in Whoosh 1.5.4.

Fixed at least one code path where the temp dir wouldn't be deleted. See issue #48.

OK, I'm seeing the problem. It doesn't happen all the time, but at least a few of the tests cause it, so I should be able to track it down. Thanks!

I think this should be fixed now.

Yep, the same here. I will add a pull request. I have fixed this issue in my fork by deleting the temporary directory in the cleanup() method of TempfilePool.

I think I'm having the same problem:

OSError: [Errno 31] Too many links: '/tmp/tmp1aHowj.whoosh'}}}
{{{OSError: [Errno 31] Too many links: '/tmp/tmp1aHowj.whoosh'

My /tmp/ directory had over 31000 files in it. I had it get it down to about 5000 before I could run rm -rf tmp*.whoosh.

#!python

        os.removedirs(self.dir)

To quickly correct this bug, I added those 2 lines in : pools.py : 144 :

def del(self):
os.removedirs(self.dir)

Without it, my /tmp folder was crawded and whoosh raised an error because it can't create temp folder.
