I'm writing a script to check permissions of files in user's directories and if they're not acceptable I'll be warning them, but I want to check permissions of not just the logged in user, but also group and others. How can i do this? It seems to me that os.access() in Python can only check the permissions for the user running the script.

import os
os.access('my_file', os.R_OK) # Check for read access
os.access('my_file', os.W_OK) # Check for write access
os.access('my_file', os.X_OK) # Check for execution access
os.access('my_file', os.F_OK) # Check for existence of file
