Lars Gustäbel added the comment: os.mkdir() and os.makedirs() always apply the current umask to the mode. We cannot be responsible for poorly chosen umasks. In general, tarfile and zipfile create directories with reasonable modes. So, IMO the zipfile-dirperm.diff is not needed and Michael's problem depends on the current umask.
The only exception is in TarFile._extract_member() in Python <= 2.5.x that creates missing directories that are not part of the archive(!) and uses os.chmod() to force a 0777 mode. That problem was addressed in issue1507247 but only for Python 2.6 and should be backported. Although this would change behaviour it would not cause failures. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2004> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
