This has been a fairly interesting discussion about tempfile.mktemp, but can we return to the original question? Should we begin warning about its use again? Should we ever warn about it? It appears that NamedTemporaryFile gives you a reasonable (secure) replacement. I'm happy to document mktemp->NamedTemporaryFile with an example in tempfile.rst if that's what it will take. Before knowing about the delete=False parameter I proposed a mkstempf() function, whose tracker issue I will close if that hasn't already happened.
