Python tempfile.TemporaryFile hangs on Windows when no write privilege

My environment is Python 3.7.2, running on Windows 10. I'm working on a directory-selection widget, and I'm looking for the cleanest+surest method to test whether the selected directory path allows write privilege.

Previously I'd been opening a named file by the usual open() method, writing a few bytes to it, then deleting it -- putting the whole thing in a try-except block. This was OK but it ran the risk of leaving behind an unwanted file. Recently I came across the documentation for tempfile.TemporaryFile(), and this seemed cleaner way to get the same result, with no risk of leaving junk files on the system.

The problem is, tempfile.TemporaryFile() hangs on my system when it's given a dir parameter that's a read-only folder. I've googled around and found this very old bug, but it was written against Python 2.4 and was fixed long ago.

Here's a test script I put together to illustrate the issue. (Note that I've omitted the file-delete that my actual app performs, as it's not relevant for the illustration.)

import os, tempfile

def normOpen(checkPath):
    try:
        with open(os.path.join(checkPath,'x.txt'),'wb') as tf:
            tf.write(b'ABC')
    except Exception as e:
        print('Write disabled for '+checkPath)
        print(str(e))
    else:
        print('Write enabled  for '+checkPath)

def tfOpen(checkPath):
    try:
        with tempfile.TemporaryFile(dir=checkPath) as tf:
            tf.write(b'ABC')
    except Exception as e:
        print('Write disabled for '+checkPath)
        print(str(e))
    else:
        print('Write enabled  for '+checkPath)

tryPath1 = 'C:\\JDM\\Dev_Python\\TMPV\\canwrite'  #Full control path
tryPath2 = 'C:\\JDM\\Dev_Python\\TMPV\\nowrite'   #Read-only path

print('First method - normal file-open')
normOpen(tryPath1)
normOpen(tryPath2)

print('Second method - TemporaryFile')
tfOpen(tryPath1)
tfOpen(tryPath2)

When I run this script, it hangs on the last line and just sits there (Task Manager shows Python consuming about 10-15% CPU).

Does anyone know what the problem might be? Particularly is this a Python bug, or is there something wrong with my usage of TemporaryFile?

In case it helps, below is the specific privileges Windows shows for each of these folders:
