Since people are already jumping on those bugs but nobody has voiced an opinion on your own patch, let me say that I think it's a good patch, and I want it in 2.6, but I'm reluctant to add it to 2.5.2 as it goes well beyond a bugfix (adding a new C API and all that).

Thanks for looking at it!

Is there a better way of exposing some c-helper code for a stdlib
module written in python? It seems that the canonical pattern is to
write a separate extension module called _ and import the
functionality from there, but that seemed like a significantly more
invasive patch.

Might it help to tack on the helper function in posix only, deleting
it from the os namespace?

Thanks again, -Mike
