[PyKDE] x bit cleared when eric saves

[Dave S]

Im getting back in my Python saddle, and started to code again,

I am sure that this is not a bug in eric but its confusing me.  I have 
several python scripts in a sub directory. All executable.

bash-2.05b$ ls -al
total 16
drwxr-xr-x  2 dave users 4096 Nov 14 20:55 .
drwxr-xr-x  7 dave users 4096 Nov 14 20:22 ..
-rwxr-xr-x  1 dave users    0 Nov 14 20:20 archive_read.py
-rwxr-xr-x  1 dave users 3399 Nov 13 23:17 ftsed.py
-rwxr-xr-x  1 dave users 2510 Nov 14 20:48 html_strip.py
-rwxr-xr-x  1 dave users    0 Nov 14 20:20 valid_day.py

I edit my script with eric, in this case html_strip.py, save it & try 
and execute it from xterm, but my html_strip.py has had its execute 
attribute cleared.

bash-2.05b$ ls -al

drwxr-xr-x  2 dave users 4096 Nov 14 20:56 .
drwxr-xr-x  7 dave users 4096 Nov 14 20:22 ..
-rwxr-xr-x  1 dave users    0 Nov 14 20:20 archive_read.py
-rwxr-xr-x  1 dave users 3399 Nov 13 23:17 ftsed.py
-rw-r--r--  1 dave users 2512 Nov 14 20:56 html_strip.py
-rwxr-xr-x  1 dave users 2510 Nov 14 20:48 html_strip.py~
-rwxr-xr-x  1 dave users    0 Nov 14 20:20 valid_day.py
bash-2.05b$

I have to chmod u+x to be able to execute it every time, this is 
frustrating.
html_strip.py~ keeps its execute attribute but I guess this is eric 
internals.

oh yes, eric 3.5

Any ideas

Cheers
Dave
