Summary: python-mode.el sets TMPDIR to /usr/tmp

Initial Comment:
all python versions. Not sure why, but on most systems 
this directory does not exist. Probably should be
/var/tmp ...(variable py-temp-directory).

Hmm, first, the Summary is incorrect since python-mode never
sets $TMPDIR, although it does read $TMPDIR.  Note that
python-mode also should never use /usr/tmp if it doesn't
exist; it'll just go down the line of $TMPDIR, /usr/tmp,
/tmp,  and then . looking for a writable existing directory.

I don't mind adding /var/tmp to that list, but it should be
done after /tmp, since I think on many systems /var/tmp may
not be writable by everyone.  You can always override this
by setting the TMPDIR environment variable.

proposed patch attached.  Suggest adding /var/tmp ahead
of /usr/tmp.
