[issue24538] os.setxattr PermissionError on panfs propagates up causing `copystat`, `copytree`, and `pip install .` to fail unhepfully

[Bart Oldeman]

Bart Oldeman added the comment:

The issue can be avoided by calling _copyxattr *before* instead of after os.chmod in shutil.copystat. That way the file is still writable.

The same issue happens on the Lustre parallel file system, with the lustre.lov extended attribute.
