os.access() doesn’t work as expected; it always returns True.

I found this method to verify if I have permission to read a file or directory, which should also imply that I have permission to check the path’s permissions.

def _readable_path(abs_path: Path, uname: str):
    # Existing validation
    try:
        exists = abs_path.exists()
    except PermissionError as e:
        return build_not_path_access(abs_path, uname, e)
    except Exception as e:
        return build_general_path_access(abs_path, uname, e)

    if not exists:
        return build_file_not_found(abs_path)

    # Reading perm check
    try:
        security_descriptor = win32security.GetFileSecurity(
            str(abs_path), win32security.DACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION
        )
    except win32security.error as e:
        if e.winerror == 5:  # Not reading perms
            return False
        return build_general_path_access(abs_path, uname, e)

    return True

Is there a library that simplifies path permission validation on Windows in a way similar to how os.access() works on Linux?
