How to read a directory path from a txt file

2014-06-02 Thread Samuel Kamau
I have created a txt file with various paths to directories. The paths look 
like this
/home/wachkama/Desktop/api/genshi
/home/wachkama/Desktop/www/portal/schedule
/home/wachkama/Desktop/show/help.genshi

How do i read this paths in python ?

I have permission issues with my web server. So I have written part of my 
script to read and write the current paths in the web servers with its username 
and group name into a txt file. I want my script to replace the new permissions 
on my web server with the permissions written on my txt file. So The last part 
of my script is the tricky part. How to read the txt file and go to all the 
paths and rewrite the permissions as per what is on the txt file.

The issue is that i use jenkins to deploy my files to the web server. Jenkins 
takes possession of all files as username and group name. This over right the 
right permissions on the web server. I want the script to be restoring the 
right privileges after jenkins deploys a new build.
