Comment(by leif):
To me it would -- at least for the moment, or this ticket -- be totally
sufficient to have unique filenames by mangling the relative path into the
temporary filename.
If someone wants to test multiple Sage installations at the same time, he
can simply set `SAGE_TESTDIR` to different locations in each shell.
Doctesting in (or below) `$DOT_SAGE` (which is usually `$HOME/.sage/`) is
IMHO a bad idea anyway, not only because `/tmp/` is much more likely to be
[on] a local filesystem than `/home/`. (It is usually also faster and
auto-cleaned.) Creating a unique temporary directory there shouldn't be a
problem.
For the sake of ''"For whitespace errors see ..."'', failing files could
still be copied elsewhere (to a perhaps more persistent location) at the
end of the doctest process.
