New submission from Frederik Rietdijk <fr...@fridh.nl>:

Creating a venv with `python3 -m venv foo` and then reinitializing it with 
`python3 -m venv foo` fails with a `Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 
'/path/to/cwd/foo/bin/activate.fish'` with the CPython interpreters from 
Nixpkgs.

The method `EnvBuilder.install_scripts` that is responsible for copying the 
files, copies the permissions, instead of explicitly stating what permissions 
are needed. This fails with the Nixpkgs builds of CPython because in Nixpkgs 
the entire store is made read-only.

Files that need to be copied from the installation during run-time should be 
explicit about the permissions they require, instead of depending on their 
current permissions.
