That's effectively the same as calling tempfile.mktemp.   While it does waste time opening and closing an unused file, that doesn't help with security.  If anything, it might worsen security.

If a secure implementation of mktemp is truly impossible, then the same could be said for NamedTemperatoryFile(delete=False). Should that be deprecated as well?
