I don't want to use the python function os.access( ), since it does not work correctly on Windows. It is giving incorrect results to me. Another option of actually creating a temporary file inside the folder & then deleting it to check whether the user has write permissions or not is causing performance issues. It is slowing down our application when we have to check the permissions on hundreds of folders. It also changes the last access time stamp of the folder. So is there any other way such as using Win32API or Win32 security modules to check the permissions? Please suggest. Thanks Ayaskant-
