I would say yes - it shouldn't be that hard to explain, and is far 
better than creating your own method of making temporary files.

The two most likely traps it avoids are problems with access permissions 
on the current directory, as well as problems with the temporary files 
conflicting when multiple versions of your Python program are run 
simultaneously (I probably *would* have been burnt by those at some 
point, but found tempfile first)

Cheers,
Nick.
