I recently wrote a script which queries PyPI and downloads a package; however, the package gets downloaded to a user defined folder.
I`d like to modify the script in such a way that my downloaded files go into a temporary folder, if the folder is not specified.
The temporary-files folder in *nix machines is "/tmp" ; would there be any Python method I could use to find out the temporary-files folder in a particular machine?
If not, could someone suggest an alternative to this problem?
