Tim Golden added the comment:

... and to answer Amaury's question in msg109871 it creates a reasonable consistency between the results of os.access and the user's actual ability to read / write a file. eg, you might have no permissions whatsoever on the file but as long as it wasn't read-only, os.access would return True for reading, writing and executing.
