I have an issue when running python3 setup.py install. Could you help me check it ? Thank you so much !

running install
error: can’t create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/test-easy-install-3934.write-test' 

The installation directory you specified (via —install-dir, —prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/ 

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or «root» account. If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

Issue

I’ve screwed up some permissions in my dist-packages folder for Python 2.7 and am worried it is going to cause issues.

This stems from an entirely separate issue with imports, which caused me to change the permissions of this folder to test things out. I took the advice to run: chmod -R 775 /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ .

When this did not work I attempted to change it back to what it was originally with:

chmod 765 /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
Notice the lack of recursive flag. Silly me.

When I did an ls -l I saw I had permissions of drwxrwSr-x on the folder. It should be drwxrwsr-x . So I gave it execute permissions with chmod +x and then setgid — chmod g+s mydir

Ok, so my folder permissions were now back to normal. However in the folder now I see most (not all) of the files are drwxrwSr-x .

What should I do to fix this mess? Here is an excerpt from the messy folder contents:

drwxrwSr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 19 12:48 wheel-0.30.0.dist-info drwxrwSr-x 12 root staff 4096 Jul 19 12:48 whoosh drwxrwSr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 19 12:48 Whoosh-2.7.4.dist-info drwxrwSr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 19 12:48 xmltodict-0.11.0.dist-info -rwxrw-r-x 1 root staff 17356 Jul 19 12:48 xmltodict.py -rwxrw-r-x 1 root staff 15128 Jul 19 12:48 xmltodict.pyc drwxrwSr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 19 12:48 yaml -rwxrw-r-x 1 root staff 1115503 Jul 19 12:48 _yaml.so 

Solution

There might be shorter ways but I use find to do a different chmod on directories than on files. Under dist-packages there are no executable files (at least I have never seen some) so you can do:

find /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ -type d -exec chmod 755 <> + find /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ -type f -exec chmod 644 <> + 

Alternatively you can use 775 for the directory (upper) line and 664 for the files.

There are probably going to be symlinks under dist-packages (there are on my Debian based system), but their permission setting should not matter.

How do I install python with proper permissions?

So python installed probably fine. Or perhaps it was already on here (I’m using xubuntu 12.10). But I tried to install networkx today using pip:

then says I don’t have permission. So I sudo the above command. Installs without errors. Now I can’t import networkx without being root. I’m fairly confident you shouldn’t have to be root all the time to run python scripts. That sounds really dangerous. easy_install says this:

error: can’t create or remove files in install directory The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory:

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/test-easy-install-13206.pth' 

The installation directory you specified (via —install-dir, —prefix, or the distutils default setting) was:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ 

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? If the installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in as the administrator or «root» account. If you do not have administrative access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment variable. For information on other options, you may wish to consult the documentation at: http://packages.python.org/distribute/easy_install.html Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

I also tried installing into ~/.networkx (a subfolder i created as not-root) and I get the same permissions error. I chmod 777 /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages and try to install, same permissions error. pip uninstall and sudo easy_install causes the same problems as the pip install. which by the way is:

Traceback (most recent call last): File «t1.py», line 3, in import networkx as nx ImportError: No module named networkx

Clearly, I’ve just been a noob at some point in either installing python, or. anywhere else. I don’t know where, it could be anywhere. Has anyone encountered this before or is cluey enough to know what’s going on? I need your halp. Cheers. EDIT: (More info for Radoo)
