While we're at it, adding a "recursive" argument to this shutil.chown could also be useful. I don't like the idea of a recursive flag. I would prefer a "map-like" function to "apply" a function on all files of a directory. Something like shutil.applyrecursive(shutil.chown)... ... maybe with options to choose between deep-first search and breadth-first search, filter (filenames, file size, files only, directories only, other attributes?), directory before files (may be need for chmod(0o000)), etc.
You can do all of this with an appropriate application of os.walk().
Eric.
