Can I just ask here as I don't know python file i/o at all.
There is pretty much no difference to the regular C API, except that Python has a little bit more aggressive buffering.
The reason I moved filecmp outside the "with tempfile....." was because the file was being held open without an EOF so the filecmp always failed, making it useless. When you do the f.flush(), foes the EOF get added to the temp file, or does the same problem that I had exist here?
Normally, if you call f.write(…) the data might not always be written to disk immediately. There is a small buffer to avoid tiny write operations. flush() manually writes everything to disk. That way, we can keep the file handle open (so that we can later delete the file) and it can be opened again to call compare.
Alternatively, there could have been a compare function that works on the already opened file descriptor.

This patches changes that leases will always be written in alphanumerical order so that we can later compare the newly generated file with the previous version. If it has not changed, we skip reload Unbound.
