You mean wrapping the whole function in a try:/finally: or just the 
`os.rmdir`?

The former implicates a quite invasive refactoring of the code 
(patch-wise a complete rewrite); the latter seems overkill given that 
the other `os.remove` calls are not checked and the only possibilities 
are either silencing the error (pass) or exit with an error code 
(similar to what the exception would do anyway).

Wouldn't that greatly complicate the handling of `-k`/`keep_temps`? a 
context manager with `TemporaryDirectory` will unconditionally remove 
the directory and all its content on completion.

BTW, TemporaryDirectory is a Python 3 feature. I understood from the 
code that compatibility with 2.6 is still important in dtrace 
(`sys.version_info > (3,0)`...). Isn't that the case?
