Improvement to the previous fix suggested by Thomas Bellman: if the
...
unlink() or fdopen() fail, close the file descriptor and re-raise the
exception.

The TemporaryFile() function has a security leak -- because the
...
filenames generated are easily predictable, it is possible to trick an
unsuspecting program into overwriting another file by creating a
symbolic link with the predicted name. Fix this by using the
low-level os.open() function with the O_EXCL flag and mode 0700. On
non-Unix platforms, presumably there are no symbolic links so the
problem doesn't exist. The explicit test for Unix (posix, actually)
makes it possible to change the non-Unix logic to work without a
try-except clause.
The mktemp() file is as unsafe as ever.

Fix so that after a fork() -- on Unix only -- the template gets
...
recalculated.

When getcwd() doesn't exist or raises an exception, don't fail but
...
fall back to using os.curdir instead; if it is fine, don't use
os.curdir at all.

Add new optional parameter 'suffix' (default ''), which is appended to
...
the temporary file name. Also some minor formatting of Jim F's code.

On NT, use a better template, ~XXX- where XXX is os.getpid().
