Looks like you just want the oct() function (not "octal()")

 >>> [x for x in dir(__builtins__) if x.lower().find("oct") 
!= -1]
['oct']

The __builtins__ will tell you what functions python 
supports natively, and you can query against this list for 
patterns, as done above.

You can use "oct" instead of "octal".

The correct name is oct(). The docs on built-in functions are helpful here:

Getting File Permissions

[Hari]

Hi,
For getting permissions of a file, the following script has been
suggested in the same group

import os, stat
st = os.stat(myfile)
mode = st[stat.ST_MODE]
print "mode is", octal(mode & 0777)

But while executing I am getting error message as follows

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'octal' is not defined

Since I am new to python, can any one help me to solve this error?
A bunch of thanks in advance.

Hari
