I found out in the following situation, it fails to work.
Say, 'somefile.csv' is opened by EXCEL,
>>> os.access('somefile.csv', os.W_OK)
True
>>> file('somefile.csv', 'w')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'somefile.csv'
By the way, using os.stat & stat as suggested by Alan doesn't work either.
Any idea how solve it?
