Remove Python UserWarning

Question

I just finished installing my `MySQLdb` package for Python 2.6, and now when I import it using `import MySQLdb`, a user warning appear will appear ``` /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.8-py2.6.egg/pkg_resources.py:1054: UserWarning: /home/sgpromot/.python-eggs is writable by group/others and vulnerable to attack when used with get_resource_filename. Consider a more secure location (set with .set_extraction_path or the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment variable). warnings.warn(msg, UserWarning) ``` Is there a way how to get rid of this?

Accepted Answer

You can change `~/.python-eggs` to not be writeable by group/everyone. I think this works:

```
chmod g-wx,o-wx ~/.python-eggs
```
