I think it would be a nice feature, and I can see the conflict. OT1H you want to keep os.chown() a thin wrapper, but OTOH you'd rather not have to add a new, arguably more difficult to discover, function. Given those two choices, I still think I'd come down on adding a new function and shutil.chown() seems an appropriate place for it. +1 for shutil.chown().
and so shutil.chown() be it: http://bugs.python.org/issue12191
Currently, only the function for a single file is implemented, let's look later what to do for a recursive one.
