OK...the problem was that mkstemp() was opening the file and returning a
low-level object that references the open file. You were opening the
file a second time, so it would have to be closed twice before it could
be deleted.
The object returned by mkstemp is actually just an integer called a file
handle. This is the way C refers to open files. The call to os.fdopen()
wraps the low-level file handle with a Python file object which you can
then use just as if you opened it yourself.
