According to the following thread, you can use os.chmod on Windows: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2003-June/210268.html You can also do it with the PyWin32 package. Tim Golden talks about one way to do it here: http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/add-security-to-a-file.html Also see the following thread: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2004-July/002102.html or http://bytes.com/forum/thread560518.html Hope that helps!
