[kai rosenthal] | with ls -l on windows I get | -rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 320 Nov 09 09:35 myfile | | How can I get on windows with a standard python 2.2 (without windows | extensions) the information "500" and "everyone" (owner and group)? | Also I cannot use popen('ls -l').
Wow. Python 2.2. No extensions. Not even popen (). You don't want much, do you? I *think* the answer is that you can't. If you were to loosen up any of your restrictions, you might have a fighting chance of using (in no particular order): 1) popen ("ls -l") as you suggest. I assume that the restriction on popen ("ls") extends to popen ("anything else"). 2) win32security from the pywin32 extensions 3) ctypes (builtin from Python 2.5; also available as an extension) TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
