5507	File bases session backend failing on Win32	dougn	Philippe Raoult	"The new file based Session backend (ticket #2066, changeset [6333]) fails on Win23 due to the SESSION_FILE_PATH defaulting to '/tmp/'

django/trunk/django/conf/global_settings.py should get the default using the environ for the temporary storage on Win32/OSX


Adding the following to your local test settings file will work as a temporary workaround:
{{{
SESSION_FILE_PATH = os.environ['TMP']
}}}

Test Failure:
