Description
The download handler example app should demonstrate how to write to a temporary file, so that multiple concurrent users won't accidentally write to the same file. (See https://github.com/rstudio/py-shiny/issues/443#issuecomment-1502624973) There should also be code for automatically deleting the file after it's been sent. Maybe an option?
