We may not always be able to write to the default output directory but we will always have a usable /tmp.
Is that a valid assumption? Surely $TMPDIR should be used if set in the environment, falling back to a hard-coded /tmp if that isn't set?
$TMPDIR is most portable but as far as Linux goes, there needs to be /tmp, yes?
I don't think there absolutely has to be, no. Calling tempfile.mkdtemp() will "just work" and do the right thing in all cases.
