On both linux & OS X, Setuptools installs all .py/.pyc files with mode
a+x (executable for all users). This occurs regardless of original
the permissions in the source tarball. Doing so breaks nosetests,
which by default refuses to import executable files for test-discovery
purposes as a safety measure.
This behavior is broken & dangerous.
