Python and file attributes

[Steven Penny <svnpenn at gmail dot com>]

The Windows version of Python can access file attributes:

   >>> import os
   >>> os.stat('C:\Recovery').st_file_attributes
   8214

https://docs.python.org/library/os#os.stat_result.st_file_attributes

However the Cygwin version cannot:

   >>> import os
   >>> os.stat('C:\Recovery').st_file_attributes
   Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   AttributeError: 'os.stat_result' object has no attribute
   'st_file_attributes'

This is unexpected as other Cygwin tools can access this information:

   $ lsattr
   -hs------n-- ./Recovery
