[python-win32] Determine file being accessed

[Tim Golden]

[Neil Benn]

|           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.

[Hand-waving answer, faute de mieux]

I believe you could do this by combining
win32file.CreateFile and win32file.LockFile
from pywin32. Looks that way to me, anyhow.
But I haven't tried it (and don't have time
to experiment at the mo).
