How to create a temporary file that can be read by a subprocess?

I'm writing a Python script that needs to write some data to a temporary file, then create a subprocess running a C++ program that will read the temporary file. I'm trying to use NamedTemporaryFile for this, but according to the docs,

Whether the name can be used to open the file a second time, while the named temporary file is still open, varies across platforms (it can be so used on Unix; it cannot on Windows NT or later).

And indeed, on Windows if I flush the temporary file after writing, but don't close it until I want it to go away, the subprocess isn't able to open it for reading.

I'm working around this by creating the file with delete=False, closing it before spawning the subprocess, and then manually deleting it once I'm done:

fileTemp = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete = False)
try:
    fileTemp.write(someStuff)
    fileTemp.close()
    # ...run the subprocess and wait for it to complete...
finally:
    os.remove(fileTemp.name)

This seems inelegant. Is there a better way to do this? Perhaps a way to open up the permissions on the temporary file so the subprocess can get at it?
