The curses module used mkstemp() + fopen() to create a temporary file in
/tmp. The /tmp directory does not exist on Android. The tmpfile()
function simplifies the task a lot. It creates a temporary file in a
correct directory, takes care of cleanup and returns FILE*.

tmpfile is supported on all platforms (C89, POSIX 2001, Android,
Windows).

Oh, I missed "Issue #29176: Use tmpfile() in curses module " in the commit message.

Please replace "Issue #29176" with "bpo-29176".

Moreover, I don't think that the bugs.python.org URL is needed in the commit message.

I think an entry in Misc/NEWS is required.

I think an entry in Misc/NEWS is required.

From an user point of view, there is no change, except of Android support.

Last days, I'm trying to avoid touching Misc/NEWS, because it's even more a mess because of how pull requests work :-(
