Has a file been opened by another program ?

dj
Hello All,

First, Is there a python library, method or module that will tell you
if a file has been opened by another program (i.e: Word, PowerPoint,
IE etc.), the methods I have found in the standard library will only
work with the python open method.

Second, I want to take the time to thank each and everyone of you for
your help. If you have not already guessed, I am a python novice ( I
know your surprised), and I am learning a lot and have discovered alot
about python from your answers. So, I just want to say....... THANK
YOU !!!!!
