Do not rely on dicts.merge to change target
Also make dicts.merge actually not touch target. This is much cleaner
than modifying in place, especially since we assign the result of the
dicts.merge call to target most of the time anyway.

"""The temp module provides a NamedTemporaryFile that can be re-opened on anyplatform. Most platforms use the standard Python tempfile.TemporaryFile class,but MS Windows users are given a custom class.This is needed because in Windows NT, the default implementation ofNamedTemporaryFile uses the O_TEMPORARY flag, and thus cannot be reopened [1].1: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-December/359474.html"""import osimport tempfile__all__ = ('NamedTemporaryFile', 'gettempdir',)if os.name == 'nt' and hasattr(os, 'unlink') and hasattr(os, 'fdopen'): class TemporaryFile(object): """ Temporary file object constructor that works in Windows and supports reopening of the temporary file in windows.
