Cross-platform module that creates directory object with all file attributes

[python at bdurham.com]

Any recommendations for a cross-platform module that creates a
directory object with not only file names, but file attributes as
well?

Use cases:
- Sort files by file size or date last modified
- Filter files by read-only status

I know I can use various standard library functions [1] to
construct such a class, but I'd rather avoid re-inventing the
wheel if at all possible. (I fear that this may be one of those
seemingly easy tasks that starts off simple and ends up taking a
lot more time to implement after real world refactoring).
