# Tempfile

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="tempfile-without-flush">
    Using '$F.name' without '.flush()' or '.close()' may cause an error because the file may not exist when '$F.name' is used. Use '.flush()' or close the file before using '\$F.name'.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="tempfile-insecure">
    Use tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile instead. From the official Python documentation: THIS FUNCTION IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED. The file name may refer to a file that did not exist at some point, but by the time you get around to creating it, someone else may have beaten you to the punch.
