Comment(by bemasc):

 Replying to [comment:10 mstone]:
 > os.tempnam() merely returns a file name; it doesn't actually create a
 file. (It's also racy). To create tmpfiles, use python's tempfile module.

 I wrote the code in question.  As you can see, the file I'm creating is
 actually a UNIX socket (named pipe).  From my reading of the tempfile
 docs, there is no way to create sockets using tempfile.  Also, the oft-
 mentioned security race is irrelevant under Rainbow, because each activity
 has its own $TMPDIR.
