I'm developing Python code on multiple VM Ware guest OS running ubuntu.
I need to share common file space so that each of these guest
instances will have complete access to the to all of the files.
The problem is that, because of a quirk (or misfeature) of VM Ware
shared filesystem, all of the directories and files are owned by root
with a 700 permissions. When I run setup.py install, they are installed
as root with 700 permissions. How can I alter the behavior of distutils
so that my modules could be installed with a more useful user and
permissions?
many thanks

I recommend to change the permissions after the files have been
installed. If you absolutely have to change setup.py, you should inherit
from the install_lib and install_scripts commands, and either override
the "install" method to install using a different umask, or you should
look at the get_outputs() result of the command, and modify the files
after they got installed.
You might also try changing your umask.

thank you for your kind reply. I have already tried changing umask.
The vmware filesystem has its own interpretation of permissions and
access which bears absolutely no resemblance to either the UNIX or the
NT models. It feeds false data into the system and well, we get to have
this conversation. :-)
I'm currently changing permissions afterwards and that's a source of
installation breakage because the same information is stored in multiple
places. I might be able to unify things if I can figure out how to make
all components reference everything in a setup.cfg file.
your suggestion about modifications isn't all that horrible because I'm
already doing a significant amount of work that isn't covered by the
distutils code as documented. thank you for the pointers to additional
functionality that might be useful to me.

For whatever reason, distutils does not change file permissions of
stuff in data_files in core.setup and neither does it allow specifying
these permissions. The CVS repository I am using assigns permissions
for files it downloads to 640. When distutils installs that, and I try
to use the application, things obviously go boom. Right now, I'll
probably have to resort to an os.chmod call in the setup script.
Shouldn't data_files be more...

I'm trying to build PyBison on Mac OS X, and I'm running into some
problems with the distutils.
Just for starters: PyBison requires Pyrex. This is not a problem,
and Pyrex seems to work without problems, at least the primes sample
module shows a nice 25 to 30 fold speed increase over the pure python
version.
I used the distutils to create the module from the primes.pyx sample,
following the setup.py from the PyBison distrubution:

Is there a recommended way to specify the permissions and ownership of
scripts installed from distutils? Also, I'm currently just using this
config in setup.cfg to control where the scripts go:
install-scripts = /opt/mcad/bin
But it would be very helpful if I could install some of the scripts in
another location. Any good way to do that?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
