Summary: subprocess test cases fail with noexec-mounted /tmp
Initial Comment:
Hi,
on my Linux box two subprocess tests always fail (see
below for a log output).
The reason is those two tests try to execute files
created with tempfile.mkstemp(), which generates files
in /tmp. And my /tmp directory forbids to execute
files, it is mounted with the "noexec" option.
What I expected from the tests is to either find a
temporary directory where execution is allowed (eg. the
directory where sys.executable lies), or simply skip
those tests.
Test output:
[...]

I attached a patch that creates temp files in the directory
of sys.executable. This directory is guaranteed to have
executable permissions, and should also have write
permissions (since sys.executable should have been generated
from a previous make run).
With the patch the test case runs ok.
