snapcraft version 2.21+17.10

When building my snap using the python plugin, I get the following error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/snapcraft", line 31, in <module>
        snapcraft.main.main()

    PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/lrp/Projects/2016/snap-libertine/parts/libertine-tools/install/etc/sudoers.d/libertine-lxc-sudo'

The file libertine-lxc-sudo is installed as readonly. The error is caused by the python plugin's indiscriminate r+ open of every file. Easy fix by adding an "except PermissionError" around the open or checking for write permissions on the file.
