temp file handling

Noticed when my installation tried to write to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/stat_parser/temp

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/stat_parser/temp'

Wouldn't it be better to use a https://docs.python.org/2/library/tempfile.html or something else?

Fixed by manually creating that file and chmod'ing it as work around.
