This is what I mean.
The following gnu commands give (on Archlinux):
$ umask
0022
$ mkdir test1
$ mkdir test2 --mode 0777
$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 sindrero users 4096 Jun 15 00:59 test
drwxrwxrwx 2 sindrero users 4096 Jun 15 00:59 test2
So we see that new folder created with the --mode parameter to gnu's mkdir does
not get the umask masked out.
The following code in python gives:
>> import os
>> os.mkdir('test3')
>> os.mkdir('test4')
>> exit()
$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 sindrero users 4096 Jun 15 01:01 test3
drwxr-xr-x 2 sindrero users 4096 Jun 15 01:01 test4
I (as a programmer) have never seen the specific code for python's mkdir
function, And I have no way to know whether I should presume that mkdir in
python works the same way as the gnu command or not. Unless it is documented
that is.
Cheers :)
