check to see if workspace is being edited

Hello, just a quick thing that I'd really like to add to a ToolValidator script:

Is there a way to see if a geodatabase that I have as an input parameter is currently being edited? I'm running Python 2.6.6 and 10.0 SP5. It looks like I'd be able to do this with 10.1 and the arcpy.da module, but maybe there's a way with what I have..

Thanks,
Adam
