Hi,

Under Windows XP os.access has a strange behaviour:

I create a folder test under e:

then os.access('e:\\test', os.W_OK) returns True. Everything's ok.

Now I move My Documents to this e:\test folder

Then os.access('e:\\test', os.W_OK) returns False !!

but this works:
f = open('e:\\test\\test', 'a')
f.write('abc')
f.close()

So why os.access returns False ?
