But it seems like CPython is the one who's doing something wrong here.
Another data point; easy_install under CPython using Vista with UAC
switched on tries to escalate permissions as you would expect -- the
normal grey screen, "please enter an administrator's details" thing --
and then happily installs the egg under C:\PythonXX\lib\site-packages,
owned by Administrator, with no read permissions for anyone else. So
you then have to go and find it and manually change the permissions if
you want to use it.
Somewhat orthogonal, but it does make it sound rather like the setup
with CPython is accidental rather than by deliberate choice.
Cheers,
