Comment:
On reflection I don't believe this can be fixed. os.path.exists() only
fails "if permission is not granted to execute os.stat() on the requested
file", but to check for read permissions we also need os.stat().
On my platform (Ubuntu) os.path.exists() and os.path.stat() works as
expected. If folks have some uber locked down system that breaks os.stat()
then they're asking for the confusion.
