Store temporary files in os-agnostic temporary location #25

Closed JamieJQuinn closed 3 years ago

JamieJQuinn commented 3 years ago

Currently temporary files created during the remove-restore algorithm are kept in the current working directory. To avoid clutter, these should instead be kept in the os's standard temporary location.

Seems like this can be easily done using the tempfile library. See this tutorial.

This is no longer relevant now that nearneighbour has been reimplemented (see #65)
