Test directory permissions in Python?

Question

In Python on Windows, is there a way to determine if a user has permission to access a directory? I\'ve taken a look at os.access but it gives false results.

Answer 1

Actually 'C:\haveaccess' is different than r'C:\haveaccess'. From Python point of view 'C:\haveaccess' is not a valid path, so use 'C:\\haveaccess' instead. I think os.access works just fine.
