Hmmm.  Didn't we just have a thread about passing external data to 
shells?

$ mkdir '/tmp/;rm -rf;'
$ TMPDIR='/tmp/;rm -rf;' python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2013, 20:03:06) 
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tempfile
>>> f = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile()
>>> f.name
'/tmp/;rm -rf;/tmpW8HFTr'
>>>
