Summary: os.tempnam behavior in Windows

Initial Comment:
os.tempnam behaviour under windows does no agree 
with the documentation.

Under Windows Temporary location takes precedence 
over specified directory, so tempnam("mydir") returns a 
filename on the temporary location instead of "mydir"

Reason: tempnam is implemented under Windows as a 
call to _tempname which behaves as described above 
acording to MS documentation.

Change: use GetTempFileName to get the desired 
behaviour.

File Modified: Modules/posixmodule.c

Error detected in: python v2.2
Corrected for Python v: 2.3

File revision: 2.271
