Hi All,
Please help me in solving this issue. I want to check the write permissions on a directory on windows from my python script. I tried to use os.access(dirpath, os.W_OK) to check whether the user has write access or not, but it gives me incorrect result. It always gives me False even if the user has write permission. Interestingly this function works just fine on Linux platforms. There is another way to check the write permissions by creating a temporary file inside the directory & then removing it. Catch the exception if create file is not allowed to decide the iswritable value. But this is changing the last modification time (timestamp) of the directory which is a critical issue for our application. Please suggest a solution. Thanks Ayaskant-
