[Sorry, somehow I massively screwed up the format the first time]
There are a couple of different options for persisting a security
descriptor.
buffer(security_descriptor)[:] retrieves the raw bytes in binary form.
This can be passed to pywintypes.SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR to recreate the
PySECURITY_DESCRIPTOR.
Also, you can use
win32security.ConvertSecurityDescriptorToStringSecurityDescriptor
to create a text representation and
win32security.ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptor
to recreate the PySECURITY_DESCRIPTOR.
That reminds me, there's a bug in the routine in win32net that parses info
out of dictionaries. If you pass in None to indicate a NULL security
descriptor,
you get an access violation. I'll get a fix in for that soon.
