And based on a determinist solution?

Yes, you can check the extension but sometimes I prefer to be sure.

For example, the API of Win32 has the GetTypeBinaryW function, this one
could be used but I need to create a mapping, with CPython api, ctypes
or CFFI.

I could also use the 2 first bytes of a file and determine if the file
is a binary because on Windows, the executable files start with b'MZ'.

But I wanted an elegant and minimalist solution.

Thank you for your proposal.

Have a nice day,

Stéphane

Hi all,

on Linux/Unix/BSD, we can detect if a file is an executable with
os.access(path, os.X_OK) but this is not the case on Windows.

Do you have an idea?

Check file extension?

Thank you.


Have a nice day,
