Permissions
provides a tiny wrapper on top of built-in Python's libraries
to get information about file permissions in Unix systems.
Currently everything related to permission management is spreaded across few packages.
It is nice and handy to have everything gathered together. Permissions
is quite incomplete
at the moment and any kind of missed functionality is welcome as pull requests or GitHub issues.
pip install file-permissions
from permissions import get_permissions_from
p = get_permissions_from('test.txt') # returns PermissionsContainer object
p.executable()
# False
p.readable()
# True
