Python 3.5 - properties of newly created folders

Question

I am using the following script to create a group of folders.

import os
newFolders = ['large', 'list', 'of', 'folder', 'names']
setDirPath = os.getcwd()
for folder in newFolders:
     os.makedirs(os.path.join(setDirPath,folder))

This is working great, Q: Where are the newly created folder's getting their properties from? Do they inherit any sharing/security/custom settings of the folder they reside in? Very new to Python, and want to create 600 client folders for a new project, and would like to avoid as many unintended problems as possible. python

I'm not sure about the default properties of newly created folders, but you can specify your own properties. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/17756652/6702495

@ cktang - Still too new the stackoverflow to vote up your response. Thanks, your link, it got me thinking differently about the issue. Not so worried about the inherited attributes, now that I know I can control them! – ikhall Jun 27 '17 at 02:33
