Hi,
What do I have to do under python windows to create a directory with all
permissions,
such, that new files / directories created below will inherit the permissions.
The reason I am asking is, that I'd like to create a directory structure where
multiple
users should be allowed to read / write / create files and directories.
Isn't this the default when you create a new directoy in Windows? (unless you're
creating it in some location where access is restricted, for instance C:\ or
c:\program
files). I'd try os.mkdir first in any case and check if it does the job.
Have to check when I'm back to the machine in question.
On this machine I used os.mkdir() / os.makedirs() and I had permission
problems , but only on Windows7. This is why I was asking the question.
I expect, that the win32 libraries might have function calls allowing to
control the permissions of a directory, but I am really bad with win32
as I worked mostly with Linux or code, that was platform independent,
which Windows file permission handling is not :-( .
Alternatively it would be even better to specify exactly which users should be
allowed
to access the directory tree.
Sorry, can't help you with this. I guess you'll need to use the windows
extensions for
Python here and deal with user accounts and ACL's.
Yep I'm afraid that's the way to go and where I hoped somebody would
have a few tiny example lines or pointers to the functions in question
to be used.
