I think it's a pretty common itch! Have you seen the boltons <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/boltons> implementation? http://boltons.readthedocs.org/en/latest/fileutils.html#file-permissions Mahmoud github.com/mahmoud On Sat, Jan 9, 2016 at 8:11 AM, Chris Angelico <rosuav@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for the reference. Personally I think that `my_path.stat().st_mode & stat.S_IXGRP` is not human-readable enough. I'll work on a nicer API. Probably this for the same action you described:
'x' in my_path.chmod()['g']
Okay. I'm not sure how popular that'll be, but sure.
As an alternative API, you could have it return a tuple of permission strings, which you'd use thus:
'gx' in my_path.mode() # Group eXecute permission is set
But scratch your own itch, and don't give in to the armchair advisers.
