What do you think about enabling a more friendly interface to chmod information in Python? I believe that currently if I want to get chmod information from a file, I need to do this:

my_path.stat().st_mode & 0o777

(I'm using `pathlib`.)

(If there's a nicer way than this, please let me know.)

Have you looked at the 'stat' module? At very least, you can ask questions like "Does group have execute permissions?" like this: my_path.stat().st_mode & stat.S_IXGRP You can also get a printable rwxrwxrwx with: stat.filemode(my_path.stat().st_mode) ChrisA
