crfsuite is spamming /tmp

[severinsimmler]

Where do the .crfsuite files in my /tmp folder come from? Can I delete those or prevent being created?

Do you have solved this？i have the same problem now.

No, but I think every time a sklearn_crfsuite.CRF object is initialized, sklearn-crfsuite creates this file for pycrfsuite. If your program crashes, this method won't get called:

sklearn-crfsuite/sklearn_crfsuite/_fileresource.py

Lines 30 to 41 in 293a2d0

	def cleanup(self):
	""" Clean temporary files if needed """
	if self.keep_tempfiles or not self.auto:
	return
	if self.name is not None:
	try:
	os.close(self.fd)
	os.unlink(self.name)
	except OSError:
	pass
	self.name = None

TL;DR I'd say you can delete those files, because they are artifacts of unexpected terminations.
