Nicholas Riley added the comment: I don't have time to check it, but it's easy enough to test - set your umask to 077 and try building an installer, see if the files get the correct permissions when installed.
I would hope tutorials would tell users to install the packages somewhere else, but you're probably right - sudo is the path of least resistance and is even less secure. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14299> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
