Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

I think the behaviour that an error is raised if the permissions are not the 
same is a nuisance that does not correspond to actual use cases (*). People who 
care about permissions so much that they expect an error can do the check 
themselves, or call chmod().

(*) and I got similar errors several times when running setup.py, only I didn't 
know it was because of that "feature"
