I don't really know, I don't follow Python all that closely.  Though
due cgi.py's usage of tempfile.py I set my TMPDIR to a directory only
writable by my zope process owner, and I don't see that changing until
python 2.3 though I haven't read over the rewrite.

I don't think there's that many people actively auditing the source.
All the bugs I've found haven't come from me looking for way a to do
something malicious, they've come from me noticing bizzare behavior
while trying to get something to work and just following up on it.

I don't know, why should you?  I care because it used to be my job to
care, now I can't seem to let the mentality go.
