That's an answer, though not for the question I asked. The
program that's being run requires a that it be passed a
filename on the command-line.
I'm not writing the program that is to open the file. If I
were, I'd just make it a python module and call it instead of
running it in a separate process.

Not really. Under Unix you can safely create a temp file with
a name that can be used to open the file. I asked about a way
to do that under Windows as well.
