Paul Moore added the comment: Following on from that, the code to make an archive executable is currently
os.chmod(new_archive, os.stat(new_archive).st_mode | stat.S_IEXEC) Should I use "... | stat.S_IXUSR | stat.S_IXGRP | stat.S_IXOTH"? If so, do I need to protect that with an "if not Windows" test? (I've tested the existing code and it does nothing on Windows, so I omitted the test at the moment). Is there any *other* way I should be making a file executable on Unix? (Side note: Maybe there should be an os.make_executable(pathname) or similar that does the right thing in a cross-platform way?) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23491> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
