I noticed that in the py3k doc 'mktemp' is marked as deprecated since Python 2.3 [1], but the function is still there and doesn't raise any warning. Looking at the source I found out that there is a warning, but it is commented out [2], the reason being because they are "too annoying". There was already a discussion about this on python-dev [3], but now that the DeprecationWarnings are silenced by default [4] the warning could be restored. If the comment can be removed I will fix it in trunk/py3k and possibly in 2.6/3.1 too, if #7319 will be backported.
(Brett, are you planning to backport it?)

Regards,
Ezio
