Hello,
I got this error when running poretools twice simultaneously:
OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty: '.poretools_tmp/H566_ON_inc'
It would be useful to fix this, and I guess it could be done by using tempfile.mkdtemp, instead of the static name '.poretools_tmp'.
I hope that helps.
Have a nice day,
Martin Frith
P.S. Full error message:

If #87 could be solved by opening fast5 files from a tar archive without writing them to disk, that would solve this issue too.
I like the idea of using mkdtemp above. Another possibility would be to let poretools take an argument (or look at an environment variable) to decide where to put the temporary directory.
