Comment:

 Finally, got what was creating the temporary folder. Apparently, the files
 were automatically getting deleted but since we used mkdtemp() in
 runner.py (after import in run_tests.py) we have to manually delete the
 temp folder.
 The following does the work successfully (tested on Windows & Linux) -
 (I coded this into run_tests.py at about the end of main())

 {{{
 #!python
 TEMP_DIR = os.path.dirname(test.runner.CONTROL_SOCKET_PATH)
 try:
   os.rmdir(TEMP_DIR)
   println("SUCCESSFULLY CLEANED TEMP RESOURCE AT - %s"%TEMP_DIR)
 except:
   println("FAILED TO CLEAN TEMP RESOURCE AT - %s"%TEMP_DIR)

 }}}
