ALL files? Literally?


All .py/.pyc files, yes.


If that's true, then on Unix this is astonishingly
wrong and definitely needs to be fixed.


I believe I called it "broken and dangerous".

[Distutils] [issue6] all files installed +x

[Peter Fein]

New submission from Peter Fein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Setuptools installs all files with mode +x (executable), overriding any 
permissions specified in the original archive.  The consensus on the distutils 
mailing list is that doing so is incorrect, and potentially dangerous. It also 
breaks nosetests. No final determination was received from PJE.
