It's already consistent. msg360033 contains a misunderstanding about what write
permission on a file means in Unix. The parent directory controls whether a
file can be unlinked -- except for immutable files. For example:
$ mkdir test; touch test/file.txt; chmod -w test
$ python3.8 -c "import shutil; shutil.rmtree('test')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/shutil.py", line 715, in rmtree
_rmtree_safe_fd(fd, path, onerror)
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/shutil.py", line 672, in _rmtree_safe_fd
onerror(os.unlink, fullname, sys.exc_info())
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/shutil.py", line 670, in _rmtree_safe_fd
os.unlink(entry.name, dir_fd=topfd)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'file.txt'
