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')

Logged In: YES user_id=31511 As I have written the patch, my comment: I think the code should be fixed, because the filename is instantly usable if returned with an absolute path. If the patch is not accepted please consider to use at least the additional testcase which catches the bug.
