Grateful thanks for your web site suggestions, and I will look them
up.
@Lawrence
Pleasee accept my apologies. I mistook your brevity for a superior
snotty attitude.

No windows nowhere here, but os.stat should be your friend.

I like your logical model - that's exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you for sharing your code.

This is what I (just now) put together as an example:
from os import stat,mknod,chown
def match_perms(org_fname,new_fname):
# Get information on old file
st = stat(org_fname)
st_mode = st.st_mode
st_uid = st.st_uid
st_gid = st.st_gid
# Create the new file
mknod(new_fname,st
If you know what the permissions are going to be then you can use umask to
set the default file creation permissions to match. Then any files created
in that directory will have the correct permissions.
I think the "pythonic" way to solve this problem would be to code up your
own module which han

Hi!
I need to process a file to produce another file that *must* have
*exactly* the same attributes and permissions of the former. What is the
best way to do this? The file must not exist with contents (it may exist
empty) unless it has the same attributes and permissions.
I know how to do this us
