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.
Exactly nothing (except creating the directory, of course).
:-) I thought so as well.
I asume the security settings of the directory below which I created
mine were setup to give no write permission to Everybody.
If I changed the parent directories security settings with the explorer
everything behaved fine.
So if the parent directories security settings are unknown it seems
mkdir() is not sufficient and I have to use some win32 calls
as mentioned in the url of Tim's reply to have the correct settings.

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.
Alternatively it would be even better to specify exactly which users
should be allowed to access the directory tree.
I never used / modified Windows file permissions except once or twice
via explorer. I'm thus a little shaky with Microsoft's file
permissions.
Microsoft's permission handling hasn't changed in the last eleven years.
So you had a lot of time to learn about it.
but never the need so far.

access control and permissions" link when you're in the security tab?
Just click on it.
Will click
