Hello, on UNIX I changed the permission of a file "myfile" with chmod 000 myfile. Then I got 0 from os.access(myfile, os.R_OK). This is ok.
Then I checked the same file on WINDOWS (with samba): I got "True" from os.access(myfile, os.R_OK). I think it is not ok?! In my python script I check the return value of os.access(myfile, os.R_OK) and when it is "True" I copy the file with shutil.copy(myfile, newfile). But on WINDOWS I get the error: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied. How can I check the right file access with python on WINDOWS before copying the file? Is it a samba configuration? Thank' for your hints, Kai -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
