[issue2845] shutil.copy2() copies permission bits

[igs]

New submission from igs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

At least in Python 2.4 shutil.copy2() not only copies content and 
access times of a files like stated in the documentation but also the 
access bits.

That behaviour I would not expect because in other functions from 
shutil it is explicitly stated if the access bits are copied.

In fact I used
shutil.copy2(src, dest)
shutil.copystat(src, dest)
up to now. What does not work if the read-only attribute is set and 
what is completely nonsense after having a look into the implementation.

[issue8704] cgitb sends a bogus HTTP header if the app crashes before finishing headers

igs  added the comment:

As mentioned above standard Apache does not accept the extra characters anymore 
and produces '500 internal error'. So the normal behaviour of this module makes 
things worse in most cases instead of being helpful.
