Details:

There was a problem in two PSF scripts. In both scripts the problem was the
same and it has been fixed (and ready to be merged):

More details in the commit message:

Until this commit, when constructing the PSF, the temporary directory was
removed as soon as the radial-profile script finished. This is simply because
the temporary directory for the PSF scripts and the  temporary directory for
the radial profile script was the same. This is not good since the directory
is removed in the middle of the execution.  Step by step, what happened was:
    
 - PSF scripts generated a temporary directory (tmpdir).
 - At some point, the PSF scripts called the radial profile script.
 - The radial profile script removed the temporary directory (tmpdir).
 - PSF scripts crashed as a consequence of the directory removal.
    
With this commit, this bug has been corrected by keeping the temporary files
when calling the radial profile script (within the PSF scripts). By doing
this, the temporary directory is kept until the end of the execution of the
PSf script and the scripts don't crash.
