| with ls -l on windows I get
| -rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 320 Nov 09 09:35 myfile
| 
| How can I get on windows with a standard python 2.2 (without windows
| extensions) the information "500" and "everyone" (owner and group)?
| Also I cannot use popen('ls -l').

Wow. Python 2.2. No extensions. Not even popen (). You don't
want much, do you? I *think* the answer is that you can't. If
you were to loosen up any of your restrictions, you might have
a fighting chance of using (in no particular order):

1) popen ("ls -l") as you suggest. I assume that the restriction
on popen ("ls") extends to popen ("anything else").

2) win32security from the pywin32 extensions

3) ctypes (builtin from Python 2.5; also available as an extension)
