Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 Can we just use Python's tempfile module, for example
 [http://docs.python.org/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.mkstemp mkstemp]?
 This should produce a temporary file safely, avoiding race conditions.  We
 can have the name end with the file being tested, including its path.

 (I think we should do the same thing for `SAGE_TMP` in `misc.py`, but
 that's for another ticket.)
