Hi,

Hi I'm using os.access to do a preliminary check to see if I have RW access, 
but 
it seems to be unreliable. In a dir for which I have only read access, 
os.access 
also says I have write access. This is under Windows 2000. I could of course 
use 
a try-except and catch the IOError, but I'd like to know why the code below 
isn;t working.

    def isAcccessible(self):
        if os.access(self.path, os.R_OK) and os.access(self.path, os.W_OK):
            return True
        else:
            return False
 Cheers!!
Albert-Jan

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public
