The method lchmod() changes the mode of path to the numeric mode. If path is a symlink, this affects the symlink rather than the target.

stat.S_ISVTX: Save text image after execution.
stat.S_IREAD: Read by owner.
stat.S_IWRITE: Write by owner.
stat.S_IEXEC: Execute by owner.
stat.S_IRWXU: Read, write, and execute by owner.
stat.S_IRUSR: Read by owner.
stat.S_IWUSR: Write by owner.
stat.S_IXUSR: Execute by owner.
stat.S_IRWXG: Read, write, and execute by group.
stat.S_IRGRP: Read by group.
stat.S_IWGRP: Write by group.
stat.S_IXGRP: Execute by group.

os.lchmod(path, mode)
#!/usr/bin/python import os, sys # Open a file path = "/var/www/html/foo.txt" fd = os.open( path, os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREAT ) # Close opened file os.close( fd ) # Now change the file mode. # Set a file execute by group. os.lchmod( path, stat.S_IXGRP) # Set a file write by others. os.lchmod("/tmp/foo.txt", stat.S_IWOTH) print "Changed mode successfully!!"
When we run above program, it produces following result:
print "Changed mode successfully!!"
