permissions and the Twisted plugin cache

edk0 commented 11 years ago

starting mark2 when it hasn't been started before yields a permission error because Twisted hasn't generated its plugin cache in .../twisted/plugins/. there are two ways round this I can see:

Make twisted/plugins world-writable by default. I'm strongly against this. config/ is bad enough. twisted/plugins actually contains python source code that is executed.
Add a mark2 install command, and make config/ and twisted/plugins 755. install commands are nasty, but I can't see a way round this one that doesn't have security problems.

does twistd's --no-save affect it?

Apparently not.
