"sudo python setup.py install" makes requires.txt unreadable except root

Launchpad Bug:

Description (last modified by warner)

Right after python setup.py build and sudo python setup.py install, running $ tahoe gives this error: ​https://gist.github.com/967983

I checked, and the file is in fact unreadable

-rw------- 1 root staff 208 2011-05-12 01:22 /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/allmydata_tahoe-1.8.1-py2.6.egg-info/requires.txt

Running standalone, with bin/tahoe works just fine

Please do 'sudo echo foo >testfile; ls -l testfile', to get root's umask.

I think this was a problem with his root umask. Also, we no longer recommend installing as root to the system: our current virtualenv-based instructions won't require that.

Closing as INVALID. Please feel free to re-open if you disagree.
