I’m trying to create directory with 777 rights.
os.mkdir(Xmldocument.directory, 0777)
However what I get is 775
drwxrwxr-x. 2 mwysoki mwysoki 4096 Nov 9 11:38 VeloDBBrowser
I’m sure that I have appropriate rights because chmod 777 works just fine.
The current umask is applied here as well.
Normally, files are created with
0777(if executable or directory) or0666(other files.)Then the OS applies the current umask to this value, resulting into
0755resp.0644seen on most files, as the most usual umask is0022.Your solution would be to set the umask to
0.
