If the .py file is going to be wrong or incomplete, why would we want to keep it -- or use it as fallback -- at all? If we're dead set on having a .py file instead of requiring it to be part of the interpreter (whichever that is, however it was built), it should be generated as part of the build process. Personally, I don't see the value in it; other implementations will need to do something special to use it anyway.

That's exactly my rationale for pushing for removal. +1 to nixing it.

I'm +0 for removal. The stat module contains merely constants, wrappers for macros and one simple functions.

Somebody just say the word.
