After

    ./configure --prefix=<PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR>
    make
    make test
    make install

the .so files installed 
in '<PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR>/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload' 
have permissions set to 700. They should instead have 
file permissions set to 755.

Running the python interpreter as a non-root user with 
the lib-dynload/*.so file permissions set to 700 (as 
is done by the install), a simple import of the time 
module fails:

    >>> import time
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    ImportError: No module named time
    >>>

After changing file permissions to 755, 'import time' 
works fine.

When you perform the installation, what is your umask?

The umask was set to 022.

To be exact, the 'configure', 'make', and 'make test' were 
run as a normal user with umask set to 077. I then 'su'ed 
as root (using the command 'su - root', making the shell a 
login shell) where my umask became 022 and then ran 'make 
install'.

Both the normal user shell and the root shell were GNU 
bash, version 2.05.1(1)-release.

This is a dup of #425007 (which is languishing on my plate).

Feel free to help fix it...

I've submitted a patch for this. It is patch #629278
"install lib-dynload .so files mode 555".
