Are the temporary filenames generated by the tempfile module guaranteed to be unique?
I have a need to generate temporary files within an application, and I will have many instances of this application running as a sub-process (so I can submit them to a batch queue). Is there any danger of my different sub-processes accidentally generating the same filename, or does tempfile check for the existence of a similarly-named file before generating a filename? What's the recommended way of generating temporary filenames that are guaranteed to be unique even with multiple processes running simultaneously?
