on winblows you can make a folder "read only" but it has no special
effect since you can rename it without it compaining.
However, you can change the attribute to read only on a file, and then
winblows will complain that you are tinkering with a file.
try this and see the results
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import os, stat, sys
path = "c:/PermissionTest/"
# Check if path exists and make folders
if os.path.exists(path):
os.chmod(path, stat.S_IREAD)
else:
os.mkdir(path)
os.chmod(path, stat.S_IREAD)
# check if file exists, then create and make file readonly
if os.path.exists( path + "thefile.txt" ):
print "done!"
else:
text_file = open( path + "thefile.txt", "w")
text_file.close()
os.chmod(path + "thefile.txt", stat.S_IREAD)
raw_input("press enter to exit")
