current description of os.acess is a follows:
access(path, mode)
Use the real uid/gid to test for access to path. . . .
Return 1 if access is allowed, 0 if not. See the Unix
man page access(2) for more information. Availability:
Unix, Windows.
in reality, os.access returns True or False (at least
on 2.3.3) this should probably be updated
