Re: How to control permission of file?


True, but I don't see what it has to do with my question.

my mistake, I misunderstood your question

as Sreeram said, os.open can be used


help(os.open)

Help on built-in function open:

open(...)
open(filename, flag [, mode=0777]) -> fd

Open a file (for low level IO).


>>> import os
>>> fd=os.open("secret", os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREAT, 0400)
>>> os.write(fd,"not for everybody")
17
>>> os.close(fd)


ls -l secret
-r-------- 1 root root 17 2006-07-01 00:05 secret
