each time I use ansible python api to do sth, it will create tmp files in`

``

`~/.ansible/tmp`

update:

I used the office code

[http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/developing\_api.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/developing_api.html)

and run it, it will appear tmp file too.

`

however, if I used ansible-play, it was not happened.

`ansible-playbook test.yml`

by the way, I used ansible\_2.2.0
