windows - Python mkdir giving me wrong permissions

I'm trying to create a folder and create a file within it.

Whenever i create that folder (via Python), it creates a folder that gives me no permissions at all and read-only mode.

When i try to create the file i get an IOError.

Error:  <type 'exceptions.IOError'>

I tried creating (and searching) for a description of all other modes (besides 0770).

Can anyone give me light? What are the other mode codes?

After you create the folder you can set the permissions with os.chmod

The mod is written in base 8, if you convert it to binary it would be

000 111 111 000
    rwx rwx rwx

The first rwx is for owner, the second is for the group and the third is for world

r=read,w=write,x=execute

The permissions you see most often are
7 read/write/execute - you need execute for directories to see the contents
6 read/write
4 readonly

When you use os.chmod it makes most sense to use octal notation so

os.chmod('myfile',0o666)  # read/write by everyone
os.chmod('myfile',0o644)  # read/write by me, readable for everone else

Remember I said you usually want directories to be "executable" so you can see the contents.

os.chmod('mydir',0o777)  # read/write by everyone
os.chmod('mydir',0o755)  # read/write by me, readable for everone else

Note: The syntax of 0o777 is for Python 2.6 and 3+. otherwise for the 2 series it is 0777. 2.6 accepts either syntax so the one you choose will depend on whether you want to be forward or backward compatible.
