Hmm, sorry to question, but are you sure?
I only ask because I'm fairly certain all my plugin directories
(including Twisted's) are all writeable. I run them out of the SVN
checkout in my home dir, using egg-/symlinks
AFAIK, the error you're referring to is mentioned in this ticket, and
possibly others:
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/2409
and also this FAQ entry:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/nbrjbw
which is a distinctly different exception, 'permission
denied' (IOError, I think).
