Description

Description

In the pyOpt_optimizer class, we currently use tempfile.mktemp() which is deprecated. We should instead use the existing temp file capabilities of the sqlitedict package.

This fix would involve both the pyOpt_optimizer and History classes, and the temp option should be handled inside the history class instead of delegating the tempfile stuff to the user.

Research direction

Locate the pyOpt_optimizer and History classes and inspect how tempfile.mktemp() and the temp option are currently handled. Check the sqlitedict temp-file capabilities first. Done means the History class owns the temp handling and the deprecated tempfile usage is removed from both classes.
