How to change the owner of a file using Python?
You can change the owner of a file or a directory using the pwd, grp and os modules. The uid module is used to get the uid from user name, grp to get gid group name string and os to change the owner:
Example
import pwd import grp import os uid = pwd.getpwnam("nobody").pw_uid gid = grp.getgrnam("nogroup").gr_gid path = 'my_folder' os.chown(path, uid, gid)
