`tempfile.TemporaryDirectory` always creates the directory with 0o700 permissions. So other applications which could run as a different user (i.e. root) cannot access the directory.

To improve the usability I would like to add the option to set the permissions of the directory.

Proposed Change is in the PR linked (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/22451)

You can change permissions after creating the directory.

The C function mkdtemp() creates the directory with permissions 0o700.
