On Windows, os.stat() calls GetFileInformationByHandle() which fills a BY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION structure, and this structure has a dwFileAttributes attribute. The os.stat() calls also GetFileType(). http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364952%28v=vs.85%29.aspx So I agree that os.stat().st_file_attributes is less surprising for Windows developers and it is more homogenous with FILE_ATTRIBUTE_xxx constants. ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21719> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
