I am a python novice;request all to kindly bear with me. fd = open('/etc/file','w') fd.write('jpdas') fd.close()
The above snippet fails with: Jagannath-MacBook-Pro:~ jpdas$ python testUmask.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "testUmask.py", line 3, in <module> fd = open('/etc/file','w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/file' Any Idea how to create a file in /etc as non-root user?Can i use umask or chmod.......confused -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
