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.
