I recommend to change the permissions after the files have been installed. If you absolutely have to change setup.py, you should inherit from the install_lib and install_scripts commands, and either override the "install" method to install using a different umask, or you should look at the get_outputs() result of the command, and modify the files after they got installed. You might also try changing your umask. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
