IMO mkstemp() is a major pain because you have to use raw file descriptors on the return value. I'd much rather recommend [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.
