IMO mkstemp() is a major pain because you have to use raw file

[Named]TemporaryFile which return streams.
The problem with NamedTemporaryFile is that it deletes
the file as soon as you close it, which makes the
named-ness of it rather useless, as far as I can see.
If you don't want that to happen, you have to use
mkstemp.
That much has been fixed in 2.6 - you can now just pass "delete=False"
to the NamedTemporaryFile constructor to stop it doing that.
Cheers,
Nick.
