python, changing the permission of destination location during copy

print "copy ",meta_path + "/common/tools/meta to "+temp_dir+"/common/tools/meta"
shutil.copytree(meta_path + "/common/tools/meta", temp_dir+"/common/tools/meta")

this is python statement I use to copy a directory to different location, is there a way to copy paste with different permission during copy? I want to make the files in destination location with permission 777

        os.chmod(temp_dir, stat.S_IRWXU)

did not work reliably after the copying is done.

thanks in advance.

That chmod line will only change the permissions of the directory itself, not everything in it. For that, you can iterate over glob.glob(temp_dir + '/common/tools/meta/*') or os.listdir(temp_dir + '/common/tools/meta/*'), calling os.chmod on each filename. However, beware the dangers of making things world-writable/executable.
