Manipulating Win32 attributes; newbie question.

[Pieter Claerhout]

These functions are declared in the win32api module. For more information,
you
can check the Python Win32 Extensions help file. You can also find this info
online. Just check the following URLs:

Cheers,


Pieter

Subject: Manipulating Win32 attributes; newbie question.



Hello! I'm new to Python although I have a fair amount of experience
with other languages (C++, Java, some Perl). I'm working on the Windows
platform with Python 2.0. I have Pythonwin installed.

My problem is that I need to manipulate some Win32 specific file
attributes. In particular, I need to temporarly turn off the read-only
attribute on a directory. In C I could use the Win32 API functions
GetFileAttributes() and SetFileAttributes() to do this. I'm not sure how
to get the job done with Python. I looked around in both the generic and
Pythonwin documentation but I didn't see anything that addressed this
issue.

TIA

Peter
