Not Quite, I think.

Help on function NamedTemporaryFile in module tempfile:
NamedTemporaryFile(mode='w+b', bufsize=-1, suffix='', prefix='tmp',
dir=None)
Create and return a temporary file.
Arguments:
'prefix', 'suffix', 'dir' -- as for mkstemp.
'mode' -- the mode argument to os.fdopen (default "w+b").
'bufsize' -- the buffer size argument to os.fdopen (default -1).
The file is created as mkstemp() would do it.
Returns an object with a file-like interface; the name of the file
is accessible as file.name. The file will be automatically deleted
when it is closed.
So I'd expect to use
command = "dsspcmbi -v %s %s" %(Pdb, temp1.name)
That is, unless __str__ and/or __repr__ return the file name also.
