when I build numpy from source via: python setup.py build sudo python setup.py install
the nosetests fail because of permissions: In [5]: np.test() Running unit tests for numpy NumPy version 1.3.0 NumPy is installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy Python version 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:58:18) [GCC 4.3.3] nose version 0.10.4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 0 tests in 0.007s OK Out[5]: <nose.result.TextTestResult run=0 errors=0 failures=0> The problem I'm running into is I can't do a blanket chmod 664 *.py on the numpy directory because that breaks things. And since I don't which files are nosetests, it's very difficult to change by hand. Is there a workaround for this, or would it more appropriate for the numpy build script to set the permissions of the test file accordingly?
