It would be nice to have a basic implementation of os.access in IronPython.
As it is available for all of Windows/Unix/Macintosh in CPython, existing Python codes aiming to be portable don't shy away from using it. Especially, os.access(path, os.F_OK) seems to be widespread for checking existence of path, although I don't see why. Isn't it same as os.path.exists(path)? If you know how they differ, please enlighten me. Anyway, here are some usages of os.access in the wild: http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=os.access+F_OK CPython simply calls access() function of CRT to implement it on Windows: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1w06ktdy(VS.80).aspx -- Seo Sanghyeon _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
