How to chmod files in python setup.py?

I created the installation of the python package with setup.py, and I want it to copy the data file to the folder (created for the case) ~ / .did. The problem is that I have to call setup.py with sudo privileges because it writes to / usr / local / ... Therefore, when my data file is copied to ~ / .did, only the root user has write access to the file,

Then I decided to add the os.chmod () call after the setup () function, but I would like to know if anyone has a cleaner way to do this.

Here is my setup.py file:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from distutils.core import setup
import os

home=os.path.expanduser('~')

setup(name='did',
      version='1.0',
      description='Daily Image Downloader',
      author='Luc Mazon',
      author_email='my@mail.com',
      url='',
      license='GNU GPL v3',
      scripts=['did'],
      packages=['didlib'],
      data_files=[
                  ('/usr/share/man/man1', ['doc/did.1.gz']),
                  (home+'/.did', ['did.xml'])
                 ]
     )

os.chmod(home+'/.did/did.xml', 0666)

Like .xml is not a python file, I also created a MANIFEST.in file with the following line:

include did.xml

The global structure of my package is as follows:

did-1.0
 | didlib
 |  | __init__.py
 |  | variouspyfiles.py
 | doc
 |  |-did.1.gz
 | MANIFEST.in
 | did.xml
 | did
 | setup.py
