If you want a temp file name only you can call inner tempfile function _get_candidate_names(): import tempfile temp_name = next(tempfile._get_candidate_names()) % e.g. px9cp65s Calling next again, will return another name, etc. This does not give you the path to temp folder. To get default ‘tmp’ directory, use: defult_tmp_dir = tempfile._get_default_tempdir() % results in: /tmp
Use File.createTempFile(). File tempFile = File.createTempFile(“prefix-“, “-suffix”); //File tempFile = File.createTempFile(“MyAppName-“, “.tmp”); tempFile.deleteOnExit(); Will create a file in the temp dir, like: prefix-6340763779352094442-suffix

Use the mkdtemp() function from the tempfile module: import tempfile import shutil dirpath = tempfile.mkdtemp() # … do stuff with dirpath shutil.rmtree(dirpath)

Guaranteed to be (statistically) unique: string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + “.csv”; (To quote from the wiki article on the probabilty of a collision: …one’s annual risk of being hit by a meteorite is estimated to be one chance in 17 billion [19], that means the probability is about 0.00000000006 (6 × 10−11), equivalent … Read more
The ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport folder is basically only needed to symbolicate crash logs. You could completely purge the entire folder. Of course the next time you connect one of your devices, Xcode would redownload the symbol data from the device. I clean out that folder once a year or so by deleting folders for versions of … Read more
