Get file attributes (hidden, readonly, system, archive) in Python
Just started learning Python. How can I get the status of file attributes in Python? I know I can os.chmod(fullname, stat.S_IWRITE)
remove the readonly attribute, but how can I get the status without changing it? I need to get all of the attributes "hidden"
, "system"
, "readonly"
,"archive"

you need to take a look at the module stat
andos.stat
os.stat(path)
Perform the equivalent of a stat() system call on the given path. (This function follows symlinks; to stat a symlink use lstat().)
The return value is an object whose attributes correspond to the members of the stat structure, namely:
st_mode - protection bits,
st_ino - inode number,
st_dev - device,
st_nlink - number of hard links,
st_uid - user id of owner,
st_gid - group id of owner,
st_size - size of file, in bytes,
st_atime - time of most recent access,
st_mtime - time of most recent content modification,
st_ctime - platform dependent; time of most recent metadata change on Unix, or the time of creation on Windows)
