As an alternative, would there be any value in cacheing the last stat result?

Well, code like this would break:

def wait_for_change(filename, delay=.1):
    stamp = os.stat(filename).st_mtime
    while 1:
        time.sleep(delay)
        if os.stat(filename).st_mtime != stamp: break

Hm ...

import statcache /usr/lib/python2.3/statcache.py:8: DeprecationWarning: The statcache module is obsolete. Use os.stat() instead.
