python-temps

temps is a python module containing context managers for creating and
cleaning up temporary files and directories.

It has a context manager for creating a temp dir and another for
temp files.
The context manager cleans up the dir or file upon context exit,
not upon file closure.
No ambiguity about whether you can or cannot open a file twice.
You can set the permissions of the temp file or dir to what you
want.
It is very clear what the implementation is:

directories are created and the path is returned.
files are not created, since you'll want to do that in a with
open(filename) ... statement, and the path is returned.
directories and files are cleaned up by the context managers.
file and dir names are generated using the uuid module, which
presumably will avoid race conditions.
