Commands for changing ownership of a file

[Michael Poeltl]

in python-3.2.1 I'm using os.system() again, from time to time
maybe that's the one you were looking for?

>>> os.system('chown user:group /tmp/f')
0
>>> os.system('ls -l /tmp/f')
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 0 Aug 15 03:52 /tmp/f

and besides os.chown() (where you ned the uid and gid), you could also use subprocess.call() or subprocess.Popen()

regards
Michael
