GetFileAttributes() succeeds for "nul", but GetFileAttributesEx() fails.
Maybe is it good idea to use GetFileAttributesEx()?

# test code

import ctypes
import ctypes.wintypes as type

dll = ctypes.windll.kernel32

print dll.GetFileAttributesA("nul") # 32

class WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA(ctypes.Structure):
	_fields_ = [("dwFileAttributes", type.DWORD),
	            ("ftCreationTime", type.FILETIME),
	            ("ftLastAccessTime", type.FILETIME),
	            ("ftLastWriteTime", type.FILETIME),
	            ("nFileSizeHigh", type.DWORD),
	            ("nFileSizeLow", type.DWORD)]

GetFileExInfoStandard = 0

wfad = WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA()

print dll.GetFileAttributesExA("nul", GetFileExInfoStandard,
ctypes.byref(wfad)) # 0
