The chown and chmod operations on lines 94-95 should target $python_bin_dir instead of $python_install_dir, as the mkdir operation on line 93 creates the $python_bin_dir directory.

Suggested change

	sudo chown -R root:"$group_owner" "$python_install_dir"
	sudo chmod -R 2775 "$python_install_dir"
	sudo chown -R root:"$group_owner" "$python_bin_dir"
	sudo chmod -R 2775 "$python_bin_dir"

The function call will fail if the groups array is empty because add_user_to_groups returns 1 when no groups are specified, but this is inside the conditional block that only executes when userdir is set. Consider moving this outside the conditional or handling the empty groups case differently.

should this be $python_bin_dir?
