Summary: os.access reports incorrect write permissions in Windows
Initial Comment:
Platform: Python 2.5b1 Windows XP
Bug:
os.access will report that a user doesn't have write
permissions to a file or directory when the user
actually does.
Reproducibility: always
This is being run on an administrator account.
>>> import os
>>> os.access("C:\\", os.W_OK)
False
>>> os.access("C:\\test.txt", os.W_OK)
False
I have also checked that Python can indeed write to the
file.

Thanks for the report and the patch, committed as r47198 (I
moved the test in a separate class, though).

Cool. I added the new patch with the test case.

Your change looks correct, but I would really like a test
case to fix this problem. I don't have access to a Windows
box, so I can't verify the test fails before this patch and
succeeds with it. Can you create a test case too? The best
place to add the test would be Lib/test/test_posix.py. Thanks!

Yeah, it's only 2.5, and only 2.5b1. Basically, there's a
double ampersand used instead of a single ampersand in
posixmodule.c. I've attached the patch.

Does this problem only occur with 2.5 or is it also present
in 2.4?
