i want a python program that given a directory, it will return all directories within that directory that have 775 (rwxrwxr-x
) permissions
thanks!

Neither answer recurses, though it's not entirely clear that that's what the OP wants. Here's a recursive approach (untested, but you get the idea):
import os
import stat
import sys
MODE = "775"
def mode_matches(mode, file):
"""Return True if 'file' matches 'mode'.
'mode' should be an integer representing an octal mode (eg
int("755", 8) -> 493).
"""
# Extract the permissions bits from the file's (or
# directory's) stat info.
filemode = stat.S_IMODE(os.stat(file).st_mode)
return filemode == mode
try:
top = sys.argv[1]
except IndexError:
top = '.'
try:
mode = int(sys.argv[2], 8)
except IndexError:
mode = MODE
# Convert mode to octal.
mode = int(mode, 8)
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(top):
dirs = [os.path.join(dirpath, x) for x in dirnames]
for dirname in dirs:
if mode_matches(mode, dirname):
print dirname
Something similar is described in the stdlib documentation for stat.
Take a look at the os module. In particular os.stat to look at the permission bits.
import os
for filename in os.listdir(dirname):
path=os.path.join(dirname, filename)
if os.path.isdir(path):
if (os.stat(path).st_mode & 0777) == 0775:
print path
Compact generator based on Brian's answer:
import os
(fpath for fpath
in (os.path.join(dirname,fname) for fname in os.listdir(dirname))
if (os.path.isdir(fpath) and (os.stat(fpath).st_mode & 0777) == 0775))
Does it have to be python?
You can also use find to do that :
"find . -perm 775"
You can check 775 permission for files and directories using below command
path="location of file or directory"
if (oct(os.stat(path).st_mode)[-3:]=="775"):
print(path)
