setting permissions to a file from linux.

[gaurav kashyap]

Hi all,
I have a text file in a directory on unix system.
Using a python program i want to change that file's permissions.
How could this be done.

Thanks

help(os.chmod)
Help on built-in function chmod in module nt:

chmod(...)
chmod(path, mode)

Change the access permissions of a file.

or

os.system('chmod 775 /path/to/filename')

[Albert Hopkins]

os.chmod = chmod(...)

... and just watch out that we usually supply the arguments to chmod
in octal, so you want

os.chmod(0775, "directory")

rather than

os.chmod(775, "directory")

(leading 0 implies octal)
