Can we wait until Unix file permissions are expressed in something other than octal?

The time machine at work:

machine:/work/25 loewis$ ls -l x.py -rw-r--r-- 1 loewis admin 22 Aug 25 2006 x.py machine:/work/25 loewis$ python Python 2.3.5 (#1, Aug 19 2006, 21:31:42) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import os from stat import * os.chmod("x.py", S_IRUSR|S_IRGRP|S_IWUSR|S_IWGRP)

machine:~/work/25 loewis$ ls -l x.py -rw-rw---- 1 loewis admin 22 Aug 25 2006 x.py

Not as brief as 0660, but more readable.

Regards, Martin
