Summary: os.tempnam fails on SUSE Linux to accept directory argument
Initial Comment:
On SUSE Linux 10.1 the function os.tempnam does not use
the "dir" argument properly. It always takes the
tmpdir, in this case "/tmp". In the example below it is
expected to get a filename of '/tmp/tmp/pref2iGGS5'
instead of '/tmp/pref2iGGS5'.

This behavior is also the same on the Python version
which comes with SUSE Linux 10.1. On Solaris 10 the
behavior is as expected, e.g.
-bash-3.00$ python

>>> os.mkdir("/tmp/tmp")
>>> os.tempnam("/tmp/tmp", "pref")

A patch for the test 'test_os.py' is attached to this
report. It has been tested on SUSE Linux 10.1.
