After ./configure --prefix=<PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR> make make test make install the .so files installed in '<PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR>/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload' have permissions set to 700. They should instead have file permissions set to 755. Running the python interpreter as a non-root user with the lib-dynload/*.so file permissions set to 700 (as is done by the install), a simple import of the time module fails: >>> import time Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named time >>> After changing file permissions to 755, 'import time' works fine. --- Python 2.2.1 Mandrake 8.0 Linux 2.4.8 x86 hardware

Logged In: YES user_id=527708 The umask was set to 022. To be exact, the 'configure', 'make', and 'make test' were run as a normal user with umask set to 077. I then 'su'ed as root (using the command 'su - root', making the shell a login shell) where my umask became 022 and then ran 'make install'. Both the normal user shell and the root shell were GNU bash, version 2.05.1(1)-release.

Logged In: YES user_id=527708 I've submitted a patch for this. It is patch #629278 "install lib-dynload .so files mode 555".
