Write `.lgd-nfy` file to tmp?

Preface: I'm still learning about your library

When using your library in a Python script embedded in a systemd service, I am hitting the following error on start up:

Oct 12 17:58:47 leaderbw pio[1674]:     self._file = open('.lgd-nfy{}'.format(self._notify), 'rb')
Oct 12 17:58:47 leaderbw pio[1674]:                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Oct 12 17:58:47 leaderbw pio[1674]: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.lgd-nfy-3'

Looking into the Python code, the callback_thread tries to write the notify file to the current dir. Permissions errors can occur, like above. Does it make sense to write this file to /tmp (or tempdir()), since all users can write to it?

My solution is to modify the .service to set the working directory to somewhere I can write.
