[issue5300] distutils ignores file permissions

[Garrett Cooper]

Garrett Cooper added the comment:

The whole permissions setting operation seems a bit convoluted.

I was hoping there was something formalized with install_data.py where I could specify a default or fine-grained user/group/mode for files, but it doesn't appear to be possible. I'll investigate applying a custom rule after install is run, but I would prefer for this to be formalized in the future.
