Python and file attributes

[Steven Penny]

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
