os.access()
os.access() is a Python function in the OS Module category. Tests if the user has access to a path (read, write, execute). The syntax is os.access(path, mode, *, dir_fd=None, effective_ids=False, follow_symlinks=True). Returns: Boolean. A typical example: os.access("file.txt", os.R_OK) # True if readable
os.access("file.txt", os.W_OK | os.X_OK). A close sibling is os.getcwd(), which returns the current working directory as a string. A close sibling is os.chdir(), which changes the current working directory to the given path. A close sibling is os.listdir(), which returns a list of all files and directories in the given path. A close sibling is os.mkdir(), which creates a single directory. Raises FileExistsError if it already exists.
