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.
This is serious, not argumentative: If there's really no concern that the values be correct, then why implement it in C? Let's just leave the python version with the hard-coded, usually-correct values.
My personal opinion is that having the correct values in C is the way to go, and delete stat.py.
