New submission from Nicholas Riley <com-python-b...@sabi.net>: The OS X installer build script does not ensure that files had the correct permissions when being packaged; some files' permissions were affected by your umask when running the build script, and others by the permissions of the source tree.
This patch sets the umask, so script-created files get correct permissions, wraps shutil.copy so it does the same thing, and adapts the existing os.walk-based permissions fixer to run over everything else. It also removes group writability for the Python framework, as this is more secure and consistent with how Apple installs Python in 10.7 and later. If you need to install a Python package without being root, either use virtualenv/pythonv, ~/Library or ~/.local. Ned Deily and I discussed this at the PyCon sprints and he will update the documentation to match. ---------- assignee: ronaldoussoren components: Macintosh files: perm.patch keywords: patch messages: 155716 nosy: nriley, ronaldoussoren priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: OS X installer build script: permissions not ensured type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24837/perm.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14299> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
