[issue7881] Hardcoded path, unsafe tempfile in test_logging

[Neil Schemenauer]

New submission from Neil Schemenauer <nas-python at arctrix.com>:

The commit for issue #7868 added the following line to test_logging:

print >> open('/tmp/tmp.txt', 'w'), type(logger)

I'm not sure if that was intentional but it should be fixed.  For one, that path does not necessarily exist.  Secondly, opening a file in a world writable directory like that is a potential security problem.  A simple fix would be to use tempfile.TemporaryFile().
