Jack Diederich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: mailbox.py uses os.open instead of the builtin open() because it wants to pass the exclusive flag (O_EXCL). As a result your 0077 umask gets combined with the default of 0777 like this:
0777 & ~0077 == 0700 == '-rwx------' So you probably want to change your default umask when creating mailboxes. Or submit a patch to mailbox.py to allow a different default mode ;) ---------- nosy: +jackdied _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3228> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
