Jeroen Dobbelaere <jeroen.dobbela...@gmail.com> added the comment: Some more background: The actual issue was initially detected when observing that the 'tarfile' package produced a tar containing different permissions, depending on the script being executed by 'cygwin python' or 'native python'.
When using native python to do the 'untar', I did not observe any issue (as it seems to automatically add 'read and execute' for all files). But, when I used 'cygwin tar', the .dll did not get its 'read and execute' permission (as it was not specified in the tar file), which then resulted in program that crashed (with a very unhelpful message). Allowing 'read and execute' manually resolved the crash. So, although this permission should not mean anything, it does seem to have some influence :( ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10888> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
