Hi, I got these warning messages /usr/bin/ld: libpython2.7.a(posixmodule.o): in function `posix_tmpnam': /home/stephane/src/github.com/python/cpython/./Modules/posixmodule.c:7648: warning: the use of `tmpnam_r' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp' /usr/bin/ld: libpython2.7.a(posixmodule.o): in function `posix_tempnam': /home/stephane/src/github.com/python/cpython/./Modules/posixmodule.c:7595: warning: the use of `tempnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp' Because the EOL of 2.7 is in 2020-01-01, do you think we should fix this issue?

yep, sure and there is a RuntimeWarning exception (tmpnam is a potential security risk to your program) when we want to use os.tmpnam(). And in the doc, there is a warning section. Ok, I close this issue.
