Leading slashes in temp file paths for "rerun"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

pyp v2.12 (svn rev 238) cannot be run at all on Windows (native Python, not a 
cygwin port) because the temporary files  '/%s/pyp_rerun_%d.txt' for "rerun" 
functionality of pyp are created with an unnecessary leading forward slash in 
the file path. 

I think there is no reason to use '/%s/pyp_rerun_%d.txt' instead of 
'%s/pyp_rerun_%d.txt'.

Python's tempfile.gettempdir() always returns an absolute path from the root of 
the filesystem on all platforms (see Python module source at 
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/tip/Lib/tempfile.py#l130 ). 

Patch is attached. I have tested that everything works on Linux, and everything 
except "rerun" works on Windows (will post the complete fix for rerun on 
Windows later).

Hi,

Thanks for checking this out.  This should be fixed in the beta version of pyp. 
 Please let me know if that doesn't work.  This is a stable release, and will 
be migrated to the main tree soon.
