In that case wouldn't be nicer to have os level attribute ala os.path.supportsunicodefilenames?
os.supportsatfunctions is gobs nicer than os.chown.signature.parameters['fd'].isimplemented Not "implementing" all parameters (whatever exactly that means) is not a very common case for a function, so I don't see what it needs to pollute a signature object for every Python function.
We can safely agree to disagree here.
Also, it's more granular than that. For example, Python now understands symbolic links on Windows--but only haphazardly at best. The "follow_symlinks" argument works on Windows for os.stat() but not for os.chmod().
