On Windows, this problem is easy: create the directory with no
specification of an ACL, and it will (usually) inherit the ACL of the
parent directory. IOW, the same users will have write access to
__pycache__ as to the parent directory.

It is possible to defeat this machinery, by setting ACL entries on the
parent that explicitly don't get inherited, or that only apply to
subdirectories. In this case, I would say "tough luck": this is what the
users requested, so it may have a reason.
