os.stat() ?

Am I wrong in thinking that this should return a value that chmod(1)
would expect?

$ touch myfile
$ ls -l myfile
-rw-r--r--  1 drek  pow  0 Sep  9 17:07 myfile

import os, stat
print os.stat('myfile')[stat.ST_MODE] & 0777

I get '420' from os.stat

python2.1.1 on FreeBSD

I'm looking for the best way to get a list of the full attributes of
a file.

thanks,
