[issue42497] New pathlib.Path attribute

[ThatXliner]

ThatXliner <bryan.hu.2020 at gmail.com> added the comment:

Ok, so I just made a patch implementing this using os.access. It adds the following methods to pathlib.Path

 - can_read    = Returns True if the user can read the path
 - can_write   = Returns True if the user can write on the path
 - can_execute = Returns True if the user can execute the path

These are implemented via

 - return os.access(str(self), os.R_OK)
 - return os.access(str(self), os.W_OK)
 - return os.access(str(self), os.X_OK)

respectively.
