R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

Because if you want the Python file object, you should use TemporaryFile
or NamedTemporaryFile.  mkstemp is a lower level (closer to the os)
interface, and is provided because Python has a philosophy of providing
those low level interfaces when possible.  Note that the TemporaryFile
classes use mkstemp in their implementation.
