[python-win32] Determine file being accessed

[Neil Benn]

Hello,

          I have a job where I need to move a file on a trigger from 
another program, however this program may or may not have finished 
writing to the file when I need to move it (I have no way of changing 
this behavior).  Therefore I need to determine if a file is still being 
written to, this is on a windows XP box.

    Does anyone know of a way to determine this using python (I'd prefer 
to use python as my company is a python shop and using anything else 
will create support issues)?

    Thanks, in advance for your help.

Cheers,

Neil
