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?

Research direction

Start with the download handler example app and review the linked comment in issue #443. Done means the example demonstrates unique temporary files for concurrent users and cleanup after the file is sent; clarify whether automatic deletion should be an option before implementing it.
