Have to check when I'm back to the machine in question.

On this machine I used os.mkdir() / os.makedirs() and I had permission 
problems , but only on Windows7. This is why I was asking the question.

I expect, that the win32 libraries might have function calls allowing to 
control the permissions of a directory, but I am really bad with win32 
as I worked mostly with Linux or code, that was platform independent, 
which Windows file permission handling is not :-( .

Yep I'm afraid that's the way to go and where I hoped somebody would 
have a few tiny example lines or pointers to the functions in question 
to be used.
