This may not require pywin32 - by default there's a public directory at os.environ['public'] (usually C:\Users\Public), at least in Vista and 7. There's probably a similar directory in earlier versions of Windows, but I don't know where they are (might still be os.environ['public']). > Alternatively it would be even better to specify exactly which users > should be allowed to access the directory tree.

Exactly nothing (except creating the directory, of course). :-) I thought so as well. I asume the security settings of the directory below which I created mine were setup to give no write permission to Everybody. If I changed the parent directories security settings with the explorer everything behaved fine. So if the parent directories security settings are unknown it seems mkdir() is not sufficient and I have to use some win32 calls as mentioned in the url of Tim's reply to have the correct settings. http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/add-security-to-a-file.html The reason I am asking is, that I'd like to create a directory structure where multiple users should be allowed to read / write / create files and directories.

Even Linux file systems have ACL support. It's only that few people use it since application support is sparse. And it lacks (dynamic) inheritance which is so 1980s.

Hi! +1 Gelonida confuses "Windows permissions" and "NTFS's rights". (too) Many Windows users are unfamiliar with Windows. @-salutations -- Michel Claveau -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

windows 7 create directory with read write execute permission for everybody
Hi, What do I have to do under python windows to create a directory with all permissions, such, that new files / directories created below will inherit the permissions. The reason I am asking is, that I'd like to create a directory structure where multiple users should be allowed to read / write / create files and directories. Alternatively it would be even better to specify exactly which users should be allowed to access the directory tree. I never used / modified Windows file permissions except once or twice via explorer. I'm thus a little shaky with Microsoft's file permissions. Thanks in advance for your answer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
