I think that would be a good idea. Return an honest-to-goodness stat object and also strip the "st" prefixes removed from the attributes. There's no namespace collision problems from which the prefixes protect us. +1 on dropping the sequence.
Good. Another addition to PEP 3000. I was hoping this would not require a long-winded and possibly boring justification for something I suspect (without checking the archives) was in the back of some minds when the attributes were added.
-0 on dropping the st prefix; these are conventional and familiar to all UNIX developers and most C programmers, and help with grepping (and these days, Googling :).
