Subject: Bug in python's tempfile : returning wrong object type

With cygwin distributed python (2.4, dec 4 2004), there's a bug in 
tempfile.

import tempfile
fo = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
type(fo)

This should return <type 'file'>, but is currently returning 
<type 'instance'>

This also seems broken on python 2.3.4

Thanks
Nick
