Easy way to get file owner in Windows 7?

I need to get the file owner but I don't see a simple way to achieve it.

I tried this but didn't work. Same with this, not working in Windows.

I used os.path for other file info, but doesn's seem to have anythin related to file owners.

Any hint?

This post seems like what you are asking. Could you first check the solution provided there.

As post owner mentions above, post is a solution for UNIX-based systems. It uses the pwd module of python, which is not supported for Windows.

Here is an alternative for Windows. I hope that helps.

I found the solution in this url.

from win32 import win32security
OwnrSecInfo = win32security.GetFileSecurity(inFilePath,
win32security.OWNER_SECURITY_INFORMATION)
SecDscp = OwnrSecInfo.GetSecurityDescriptorOwner()
# returns a tuple (u'owner, u'domain)
ownr = win32security.LookupAccountSid(None,SecDscp)
return str(ownr[0])
