"""Temporary files.
This module provides generic, low- and high-level interfaces for
creating temporary files and directories. All of the interfaces
provided by this module can be used without fear of race conditions
except for 'mktemp'. 'mktemp' is subject to race conditions and
should not be used; it is provided for backward compatibility only.
This module also provides some data items to the user:
TMP_MAX - maximum number of names that will be tried before
giving up.
template - the default prefix for all temporary names.
You may change this to control the default prefix.
tempdir - If this is set to a string before the first use of
any routine from this module, it will be considered as
another candidate location to store temporary files.
