Just use /tmp or DOT_SAGE/tmp, but create a directory in it so you
don't clobber other jobs of the same kind. It might be a good idea to
add some create_tmpdir() command in Sage that is guaranteed to be
unique and is in a writable directory, i.e. it should first try
DOT_SAGE/tmp, then /tmp and so on. IIRC there is even some env
variable where we can point a per user tmp dir to. So you might want
to open a ticket for the above in order to avoid various people doing
the same thing in their own code over and over again.
