[Nick Craig-Wood] | Make a patch for os.access()? It says in the docs it works on | Windows! I suspect it might end up being a doc patch. AFAICR the os-specific stuff is implemented in C; I'll try downloading the source at some point and having a look. The existing docs do say, though: """ Note: I/O operations may fail even when access() indicates that they would succeed, particularly for operations on network filesystems which may have permissions semantics beyond the usual POSIX permission-bit model. """ Don't know if this covers the case meanwhile. TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
