Wondering if any of you have stumbled across the following behavior: I'm doing a recursive directory listing of my Windows folder and I can access the timestamps and file sizes of all files except the following 6 files:
In the \windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\config folder: enterprisesec.config.cch.6824.14057640 security.config.cch.6824.14057640 In the \windows\\microsoft.net\framework64\v2.0.50727\config folder: \enterprisesec.config.cch.4412.14151427 enterprisesec.config.cch.6912.14056844 security.config.cch.4412.14151427 security.config.cch.6912.14056844 When I attempt to do any of the following on the above files, a WindowsError exception is raised with a value of "[Error 5] Access is denied: ...". os.path.getctime() os.path.getatime() os.path.getmtime() os.path.getsize() What's strange is that the DIR command from a cmd prompt returns timestamps and file sizes for the above files. Background; 64-bit Windows 7; 32-bit Python 2.7.2 Any ideas on how I can retrieve timestamps and file sizes like DIR without raising exceptions? Thank you, Malcolm
