python setup.py目录权限

Question

I am trying to create a setup.py that will build rpm/deb packages and I want it to create a blank directory with 777 permissions. I have it creating the directory via data_files

  data_files=[ 
                ( '/var/spool/my_dir', [] )
             }

But it creates the directory with 755 permissions. How do i get setup.py to create this directory with 777 permissions??

Answer 1

There is a way to do this. You will need to override the install method. See my answer here: set file permissions in setup.py file

Answer 2

I don't think there's a way to specify file permissions in the call to setup .

You could always import os and do something like os.chmod('/var/spool/my_dir', 0777) after the setup call. To be honest though, I wonder if you really need those permissions.
