file mode attributes...

[Bjorn Pettersen]

I was wondering if this was the best way of implmenting these functions
(windows)?

 import os, stat

 def isReadable(fname):
     os.stat(fname).st_mode & stat.S_IREAD

 def isWriteable(fname):
     os.stat(fname).st_mode & stat.S_IWRITE

 def makeReadable(fname):
     os.chmod(fname, os.stat(fname).st_mode | stat.S_IREAD)

 def makeWriteable(fname):
     os.chmod(fname, os.stat(fname).st_mode | stat.S_IWRITE)

It seems rather round-about, especially since the stat attributes I'm
using aren't even mentioned in the manual...
