I am using a system in the Spanish language. As you can see in the last line, 'Acceso denegado' or 'Access denied' even though the flag "ignore_access_errors" is set to True.
Sorry, meant to reply to this point as well. The ignore_access_errors flag only applies to finding the file's existence in the first place (it's a flag to the dirs iterator) but you're getting access denied on the attempt to read security. If the option to run in an Administrator-enabled windows isn't applicable, you've got a couple more options open: you could catch that specific error in a try-except block and do something which made sense in your context (write it to a log, discard it, whatever). You wouldn't get the information but it wouldn't stop you proceeding. As an alternative you could ask for slightly less information from the security () function. By default it requests Owner and DACL info; if you only wanted the DACL you can just pass "D" as the options parameter to the call. Obviously, if it's the request for DACL which is giving the access error then this won't help. Another alternative is to enable any privileges in your access token which aren't enabled by default. The likelihood is that, without running in Admin mode, the disabled privs won't offer you much. You can see what privileges you currently have by looking at your process token: <code> from winsys import security security.token ().dump () </code> Look for the set of privileges: an asterisk (*) means the priv is enabled by default; a plus (+) means it has been enabled; a minus (-) means it has not been enabled. If you had backup privilege enabled you would be able to read the security of any filesystem object even if you had no rights to it. TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
