New submission from Pavol Babinčák <scroolik at gmail.com>:
I'm using Windows and lets' say I have this directory structure listed with cmd:
> dir /A
...
16.05.20 11:15 <DIR> directory
16.05.20 10:47 0 hidden
16.05.20 11:25 <SYMLINK> link [regular]
16.05.20 10:47 0 readonly
16.05.20 11:15 0 regular
16.05.20 10:48 0 system
...
or PowerShell:
PS > dir -Force
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
d----- 16.5.20 11:15 directory
-a-h-- 16.5.20 10:47 0 hidden
-a---l 16.5.20 11:25 0 link
-ar--- 16.5.20 10:47 0 readonly
-a---- 16.5.20 11:15 0 regular
-a--s- 16.5.20 10:48 0 system
or attrib:
> attrib
A H hidden
A link
A R readonly
A regular
A S system
I'd like to print file attributes in a text form. If I use stat.filemode():
>>> import os, stat
>>> print("\n".join(["{} {}".format(stat.filemode(os.stat(n).st_mode), n) for n in os.listdir('.')]))
drwxrwxrwx directory
-rw-rw-rw- hidden
-rw-rw-rw- link
-r--r--r-- readonly
-rw-rw-rw- regular
-rw-rw-rw- system
>>>
not surprisingly I miss all windows attributes. On the top of that I get only values of stat.S_IWRITE and stat.S_IREAD as documented in os.chmod().
I'd like to have a new function, let's say fileattributes() which would behave like this:
>>> print("\n".join(["{} {}".format(stat.fileattributes(os.stat(n).st_file_attributes), n) for n in os.listdir('.')]))
d----- directory
-a-h-- hidden
-a---l link
-ar--- readonly
-a---- regular
-a--s- system
>>>
In this example I have used same format of attributes as in PowerShell because it is most similar to filemode().
I guess link cannot be currently identified with contants in stat module.
