we already have "pyio.py", we could have "pystat.py". Works for me.

I suggest following the guidelines in PEP 399 for cross implementation compatibility of the standard library: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0399/#details

  1. Keep stat.py

  2. Make the C version "_stat"

  3. Add the following to the end of stat.py:

    try: from _stat import * except ImportError: pass

Run the tests with and without the C module in the test suite (again, as per PEP 399).

Cheers, Nick.
