Need Simple Way To Determine If File Is Executable

[Tim Daneliuk]

I have a program wherein I want one behavior when a file is set as executable
and a different behavior if it is not.  Is there a simple way to determine
whether a given named file is executable that does not resort to all the
lowlevel ugliness of os.stat() AND that is portable across Win32 and *nix?

Thanks,
