The docs for os.chmod claim:

Availability: Unix, Windows.
Although Windows supports chmod(), you can only set the file's read-only flag with it (via the stat.S_IWRITE and stat.S_IREAD constants or a corresponding integer value). All other bits are ignored.

So at least according to the current docs, we should be okay calling `os.chmod(file_path, stat.S_IREAD)` on Unix and Windows (and of course OS X too). Is that enough or did you have other platforms in mind?
