[issue19936] Executable permissions of Python source files

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith added the comment:

For those four libffi files in msg208964, do what you want with them.  I ignored executable bits entirely (didn't set or unset) when importing the code as there is zero need to execute any of them.

IMNSHO, I think executable bits should _not_ be set on most files in the Python source tree.  *Especially* not on things under Lib and Lib/test/.  Afterall, any #! on those is *guaranteed* to not refer to the Python interpreter the source tree represents.
