Do you mean this?

"os.tmpfile()
Return a new file object opened in update mode (w+b). The file has no
directory entries associated with it and will be automatically deleted
once there are no file descriptors for the file. Availability: Unix,
Windows"

I don't see how this will work when I run "kill -9 $SOME_PID"
