A word of warning: os.access() is not a good and sufficient permission check. 
It only checks DAC (discrete access control) permissions and suffers from 
TOCTOU issues. Operating systems have additional permission checks and security 
policies, for example  mandatory access control (AppArmor, SELinux, Smack) and 
seccomp.
