"""Temporary files.

This module provides generic, low- and high-level interfaces for
creating temporary files and directories.  The interfaces listed
as "safe" just below can be used without fear of race conditions.
Those listed as "unsafe" cannot, and are 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.
