Python-gphoto2 custom name save

I've recently changed my system from using command line gphoto2 to the python module Gphoto2 due to better camera control and getting system information.

Before I was able to take a photo and save it with a custom name.

os.system('var=$(gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download --filename="/temp/img-'+ time_photo_taken +'.jpg")')  

How do I achieve this with the current script:

camera = gp.Camera()  camera.init()  print('Capturing image')  file_path = camera.capture(gp.GP_CAPTURE_IMAGE)  print('Camera file path: {0}/{1}'.format(file_path.folder, file_path.name))  target = os.path.join('/temp/', file_path.name)  print('Copying image to', target)  camera_file = camera.file_get(      file_path.folder, file_path.name, gp.GP_FILE_TYPE_NORMAL)  camera_file.save(target)  camera.exit()  

Would I need to add another function that looks for the photo in the temp folder then renames it? or is there a way to do it as the photo is taken?
