Great - I'm glad 2.2 is to be maintained since it should avoid a whole
lot of bother.  However I didn't want to suggest dropping mkdtemp since
I read that it's more secure than previous methods like mktemp, which is
now deprecated:

http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.3/lib/module-tempfile.html

Perhaps somebody who knows Python better than me would be able to work
around this without having force such compromises into Xen?

Cheers,

Sean.
