[Python-Dev] file open in python interpreter

[adrian golding]

hi all,

(benjamin and nick thank you!) i have another question to ask something
about permissions for the python interpreter.  in my earlier post, i was
saying i want to measure the python script before it is parsed.  what
happens is that i will write the measurement of that script file to another
file (call is 'measurereq') i have, it gives a Permission denied error.

i have modified other programs to do the same measurement (eg, modified Bash
to measure .sh files) and it works fine.  So i am suspecting it has
something to do with the python files. ie, i'm thinking the Permission
denied error is not because of i'm unable to write on my 'measurereq' file,
but its because i'm unable to measure (read) the python file.

any clues? how can i go around this?
thanks - adrian
