This is not python specific.
If the files are made by a different user that the one viewing it the script can make it read-only. As the file is owned by the python user, the viewing user cannot just change the attributes.
So it’s very much an OS question, and not a Python question.
Oh, and there is no way to prevent an administrator changing the file, or for the file to be readable but not copyable.
