I think we should tread lightly in the documentation area. We already have two note boxes, and adding a third probably scares everyone away.

I entirely agree. (That's what I meant by "involved" above)

Maybe there should be a bullet list of considerations to be made when using os.access?

* Apply the patch in issue2528 to 3.3 and maybe 2.7

I'd vote in favor of this. If we can be a bit smarter in determining os.access results, let's do it. I haven't reviewed the patch other than 1 minute scan, but I'll put this on my radar and try to get you a review.

Thanks. To be honest I wrote the patch 3 years ago; I haven't even tried to apply it to either of the current posixmodule.c. Let's see if I can dust it off and mould it into shape, or you'll be left fighting patch errors instead of reviewing code :)
