I'm developing Python code on multiple VM Ware guest OS running ubuntu. I need to share common file space so that each of these guest instances will have complete access to the to all of the files.
The problem is that, because of a quirk (or misfeature) of VM Ware shared filesystem, all of the directories and files are owned by root with a 700 permissions. When I run setup.py install, they are installed as root with 700 permissions. How can I alter the behavior of distutils so that my modules could be installed with a more useful user and permissions? many thanks ---eric -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
