[ismael] | I have some problems to get the the permissions on windows. I | use a simple code that run perfectly in UNIX but give me wrong | information on Windows. I found this code searching by google:
[... snip ...] | is there a solution for this?, another library or code? | Anything that i do wrong? Well, I'm certainly feeling guilty, because I've had a note on my TODO list since the last time this came up a month or so ago. In short, Windows doesn't really map the read/write/exec Posix model especially logically. AFAICT, the MS CRT code doesn't take account of NT permissions or things like PATHEXT at all -- which would give you non-readable or executable. The traditional DOS model only supports read-only (and hidden/system/archived which don't apply here) so there's no way, eg, for any combination of flags to indicate can't-read-at-all. In short, *I* need to provide that doc patch I got halfway through, and *you* need to find a way around whatever you're trying to do on Windows. Depending on what you're after, you might end up with some sort of try-except framework, or using the win32security module from the pywin32 extensions. Feel free to post again indicating what you're trying to do with the stat information.
