Question

How to check with python if the path has a sticky bit?

Answer 1

import os def is_sticky(path): return os.stat(path).st_mode & 01000 == 01000 

Answer 2

os.stat () will return file information. The first item will be the mode. Then you can use some bit arithmetic to get a sticky bit. The sticky bit has an octal value of 1000.
