filenames generated are easily predictable, it is possible to trick an
unsuspecting program into overwriting another file by creating a
symbolic link with the predicted name. Fix this by using the
low-level os.open() function with the O_EXCL flag and mode 0700. On
non-Unix platforms, presumably there are no symbolic links so the
problem doesn't exist. The explicit test for Unix (posix, actually)
makes it possible to change the non-Unix logic to work without a
try-except clause.
The mktemp() file is as unsafe as ever.

I've attached a long overdue patch to pickle.py to bring it to format
1.3, which is the same as 1.2 except that the binary float format
is supported. This is done using the new platform-indepent format
features of struct.
This patch also gets rid of the undocumented obsolete Pickler
dump_special method.

show(): added color keyword here so that the selected color can be
chosen on each invocation of askcolor().
Also fixed this class, and askcolor() so that the same Chooser
instance can be re-used instead of creating a new one on each
invocation of askcolor().
Added a module function save() which can be used to explicitly save
the option database in ~/.pynche. This does not happen automatically
when used as a modal.
run either as a standalone application (by running pynche or
pynche.pyw), or as a modal dialog inside another application. This
can be done by importing pyColorChooser and running askcolor(). The
API for this is the same as the tkColorChooser.askcolor() API, namely:
When `Okay' is hit, askcolor() returns ((r, g, b), "name"). When
`Cancel' is hit, askcolor() returns (None, None).
Note the following differences:
1. pyColorChooser.askcolor() takes an optional keyword `master'
which if set tells Pynche to run as a modal dialog. `master'
is a Tkinter parent window. Without the `master' keyword
Pynche runs standalone.
2. in pyColorChooser.askcolor() will return a Tk/X11 color name as
"name" if there is an exact match, otherwise it will return a
color spec, e.g. "#rrggbb". tkColorChooser can't return a
color name.
There are also some UI differences when running standalone vs. modal.
When modal, there is no "File" menu, but instead there are "Okay" and
"Cancel" buttons.
The implementation of all this is a bit of a hack, but it seems to
work moderately well. I'm not guaranteeing the pyColorChooser.Chooser
class has the same semantics as the tkColorChooser.Chooser class.

the NEWS file of Python 1.5.2a2 inspired me to look at
Tools/scripts/untabify.py. I wonder why it accepts a -t argument
but ignores it. The following patch tries to make it somewhat useful
(i.e., to override the tabsize=8 setting). Is that agreeable?

"""
The FieldStorage constructor calls the read_multi method. The read_multi
method creates new FieldStorage objects, re-invoking the constructor
(on the new objects). The problem is that the 'environ', 'keep_blank_values',
and 'strict_parsing' arguments originally passed to the constructor are not
propigated to the new object constructors. This causes os.environ to be used,
leading to a miss-handling of the parts.
I fixed this by passing these arguments to read_multi and then on to the
constructor. See the context diff below.
