[Python-modules-team] Bug#656338: support basedirspec 0.7

[chrysn]

Package: python-xdg
Version: 0.19-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

as of november 2010, there is a new version of the base dir
specification, 0.7, while pyxdg only implements 0.6. the new version
adds an XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, where sockets, named pipes etc. can be stored.

given that the specification is rather strict about creation of that
directory (has to be 0700) and specifies the modes files created there
must have (e.g. files may be removed automatically if they are older
than 6 hours and don't have sticky bit set), i think it would be a good
idea to have this implemented in pyxdg. (it might even implement a
xdg.BaseDirectory.FileLock(*resource) that creates a lockfile.FileLock
in an appropriate location).

i am aware this is a pure upstream thing, but i didn't find an issue
tracker on the upstream homepage, thus reporting here.
