REPOST: Manipulating Win32 attributes; newbie question.

[Peter]

Hello! I'm new to Python although I have a fair amount of experience 
with other languages (C++, Java, some Perl). I'm working on the Windows 
platform with Python 2.0. I have Pythonwin installed.

My problem is that I need to manipulate some Win32 specific file 
attributes. In particular, I need to temporarly turn off the read-only 
attribute on a directory. In C I could use the Win32 API functions 
GetFileAttributes() and SetFileAttributes() to do this. I'm not sure how 
to get the job done with Python. I looked around in both the generic and 
Pythonwin documentation but I didn't see anything that addressed this 
issue.

TIA

Peter
