Sorry to flood the list but my google fu isn't up to par today I guess. Basically, is it possible to read the permissions on one file and then set the permissions of another file to the ones we just read? os.dup2 seemed like it would work but I might not be using it correctly.
I know there is os.chmod, but I haven't found the equivalent to read permissions. Preferably this would work on unix and windows too.
