os.chmod('myfile', 0777) Python will recognise integers written in octal if you leave a leading zero, and in hex if you use a leading 0x or 0X. >>> 010 8 >>> 0x10 16 >>> 010 + 0x10 24 As John pointed out, you don't have to use octal for chmod. You can use decimal, or hex -- anything that is an integer. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
