Setting cygwin permissions from Windows programs

[Steve Holden]

I am writing a Python program to generate file trees to be distributed 
to a Linus machine using Cygwin's scp. As the GUI to this program uses 
wxPython, a native Windows approach is the most straightforward.

Is there any way to set permissions on the output files from the Windows 
side that will result in predictable permissions when the output tree is 
viewed from Cygwin?

A Python recipe would be useful, but I'll take what I can get!

regards
  Steve
