Fwd: Fwd: Python freeze fails with warning: the use of `tempnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'

Yes, of course I did not write posixmodule.c, it is a part of the python 
2.7 distribution and I have no idea how to not use it and I believe I 
have no control over it, unless I go inside of python distribution and 
modify it. Is this what you are recommending?
