"""

The temp module provides a NamedTemporaryFile that can be re-opened on any

platform. Most platforms use the standard Python tempfile.TemporaryFile class,

but MS Windows users are given a custom class.

This is needed because in Windows NT, the default implementation of

NamedTemporaryFile uses the O_TEMPORARY flag, and thus cannot be reopened [1].
