You could read section 6.1.4 of the Python Library Reference (Files and
Directories stuff in the 'os' module). Look at access() and chmod().
Or, if you want to, you can use the win32file methods:
GetFileAttributes() and SetFileAttributes(). You probably only need to
do this if you need more information than whether the file is read-only.
As the PyWIn32 docs say, the return value of GetFileAttributes is a
logical-or of win32con.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_* constants. And as per usual, the
best source of documentation on the PyWin32 stuff is MSDN. CHeck out:
