The cause seems to be that chmod doesn't support the same funcationality as on Unix. I'm not sure if this fix is the best (or if it will even work)--it's a test to see if the buildbots start passing again. It might be better to not even run this test if it's windows (or non-posix). ........ r53488 \| neal.norwitz \| 2007-01-19 06:53:33 +0100 (Fri, 19 Jan 2007) \| 1 line SF #1635217, Fix unbalanced paren ........ r53489 \| martin.v.loewis \| 2007-01-19 07:42:22 +0100 (Fri, 19 Jan 2007) \| 3 lines Prefix AST symbols with _Py_.

Packaging Python as a Microsoft Installer Package (MSI)
=======================================================

Using this library, Python can be packaged as a MS-Windows
MSI file. To generate an installer package, you need
a build tree. By default, the build tree root directory
is assumed to be in "../..". This location can be changed
by adding a file config.py; see the beginning of msi.py
for additional customization options.

The packaging process assumes that binaries have been 
generated according to the instructions in PCBuild/README.txt,
and that you have either Visual Studio or the Platform SDK
installed. In addition, you need the Python COM extensions,
either from PythonWin, or from ActivePython.

To invoke the script, open a cmd.exe window which has 
cabarc.exe in its PATH (e.g. "Visual Studio .NET 2003
Command Prompt"). Then invoke

<path-to-python.exe> msi.py

If everything succeeds, pythonX.Y.Z.msi is generated
in the current directory.
