But isn't the real problem with this module in Python the fact that the constants might be wrong? I'm not sure what, if anything, we can do about that.
Python is providing a stat module implemented in Python since 10 years, or maybe 20 years, and I don't remember that someone complained that constants are wrong.
At the same time, Python distributes IN.py which contains things like that:
LONG_MAX = 9223372036854775807 LONG_MAX = 2147483647 LONG_MIN = (-LONG_MAX - 1)
In my opinion, the situation of plat-/.py modules is worse than stat.py :-)
