You haven't provided enough details to go on.
1. Please post the actual code, and the trace back (if any).
2. When you say "I am unable to access". Do you mean another script/
process is unable to access? If so, that is the point of mkdtemp() -
to make a temporary directory that _only_ the creating process can
access. If you want to share it then tempfile is not the right module
for you.
