For one thing they are external binaries, not python scripts, and second they are used internally only (through Subprocess), they are not supposed to be called directly by clients. > But How do you handle the overwrite of a read-only file in your code > then ? I didn't, all my files were writable (by me), but if I had to, I'd look at tweaking the directory write permissions; as I mentioned, I don't think file permissions affect whether you can delete the file. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5300> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
