Summary: mkstemp doesn't return abspath

Initial Comment:
The document of tempfile.mkstemp says that,

"mkstemp() returns a tuple containing an OS-level 

handle to an open file (as would be returned by 

os.open()) and the absolute pathname of that file, 

in that order."



However, if you specify the directory a relative path,

it doesn't return an absolute pathname.



>>> import tempfile

>>> tempfile.mkstemp()

(5, '/tmp/tmpHBq8rz')

>>> tempfile.mkstemp(dir='.')

(3, './tmpvK7BEr')

>>> tempfile.mkstemp(dir='./test')

(4, './test/tmplB7GZF')

Anyone got an opinion on this one? Should the docs be fixed,

or the code?
