Hello,

/usr/tmp is not (used) on OpenBSD.

We have specific patch to do this, but I prefer to have this modification upstream.

2.5: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/lang/python/2.5/patches/patch-Lib_tempfile_py
2.7: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/lang/python/2.7/patches/patch-Lib_tempfile_py
3.2: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/lang/python3/3.2/patches/patch-Lib_tempfile_py

Is it possible to add a specific location to remove /usr/tmp of the dirlist?

Attached file is the patch to do this:

     if _os.name == 'nt':
         dirlist.extend([ r'c:\temp', r'c:\tmp', r'\temp', r'\tmp' ])
+    elif _sys.platform.startswith('openbsd'):
+        dirlist.extend([ '/tmp', '/var/tmp' ])
     else:
         dirlist.extend([ '/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/usr/tmp' ])
, '/var/tmp' ])

Thanks,
Remi.
