Add support for os.chmod('script.sh', 'ug+x') syntax style.

Almost any expression supported by GNU Coreutils chmod should be supported by this module.

[ugoa]*([-+=]([rwx]*|[ugo]))+|[-+=][0-7]+

Xst flags are not supported though.

Install

Usage
There are two ways to use chmod-monkey.
Using os.chmod MonkeyPatch

os.chmod('script.sh', 'ug+x')  # Magic :)
Using to_mode converter
import os
from chmod_monkey import to_mode
os.chmod('script.sh', to_mode('script.sh', 'ug+x'))  # For serious people.
