just anecdotal support: my umask is 077 as well, have been doing uploads
to pypi for a while, never had report from the users about any problem.
The reasons could be either it indeed doesn't matter or nobody uses my
projects ;-)

setup.py sdist permissions

[Brian May]

Hello,

As an upstream maintainer of certain packages on pypi, it has come to my
attention that my packages have files in the source package with
permission 600 or 700 (and my owner and group). This is most likely
because my umask is set to 077, because in general I prefer not having
all my private files world/group readable.

* Is this actually a problem for users?

* Shouldn't sdist be ignoring my umask considering it is generating
  packages for public consumption?

It seems like the only known solution is to manually set umask to 022
before calling sdist, something I am likely to forgot to do on a
continued basis.

Any ideas?

[alioth lists migration team] [Python-modules-team] Notice of mailing list closure: python-modules-team

[Brian May]

A lot of our packages currently have this list in the maintainer
field. Maybe we want to keep this list for now???


--- Begin Message ---
Dear list subscribers,

As per the announcement on debian-devel-announce[1] and as part of
the shutdown of the alioth service, the migration of
lists.alioth.debian.org mailing lists to alioth-lists.debian.net is now
underway.

We tried to contact the designated list owner via
python-modules-team-ow...@lists.alioth.debian.org but got either no reply,
or a bounce message. Accordingly, this list will not be migrated to the
new system and will stop working on 14th April.

Information about alternatives to this service which may be more suitable
for the list can be found at
.

In the event that this list should be migrated to the new system,
please first appoint a Debian developer as a list owner, then let us know
by replying to this email, copying in the list.

More information about the new service can be found here:


Thanks,
the alioth-lists migration team.
