I disagree, chmod seems to work: [11:35] - adp96: touch zzz [11:35] - adp96: ll zzz -rw-rw-rw- 1 mikit Domain U 0 Nov 23 11:35 zzz [11:35] - adp96: python -c 'from os import chmod; chmod("zzz", 0700)' [11:36] - adp96: ll zzz -rwx------ 1 mikit Domain U 0 Nov 23 11:35 zzz

Hmm, strange. I should perhaps have provided the link that I based this on: http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC41. The thing is, the test needs a permissions error so it can check shutil.rmtree's error handling. Setting the permissions for the directory to stat.S_IREAD (0400) doesn't seem to prevent Python from removing the file. I don't know enough about the intricacies of Cygwin+chmod (I don't have a Windows machine) to make this work reliably, but I'll be happy to take another patch.

Note, by the way, that this is not a problem with shutil itself, but just with the test.
