The appropriate permissions for Python script files vary depending upon the function of the script:
- You should set the file permissions for Python script files to 755 ("read", "write", and "execute" permissions for the user, and "read" and "execute" permissions for the group and the world). No need to give the world "write" permissions to the Python script.
- You should set the file permissions for Python script files to 700 ("read", "write", and "execute" permissions for the user, and no permissions for the group or the world).
