STINNER Victor added the comment: I don't understand the problem with umask(). It's standard and affect all code even C extension calling directly or indirectly open(). It is more secure to use umask() than setting mode on a few Python open() calls no?
For example, Python creates .pyc files. You cannot (easily) modify the open() call to set mode, whereas it is affected by umask(). If you call umask() at startup, it affects all threads, there is no race condition like open()+fchmod(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29214> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
