PEP 3108 has the stat module slated for removal, but some snags have been hit and it makes me wonder if it is still worth it. The issue tracking all of this is http://bugs.python.org/issue2874 .
First, it turns out a bunch of constants from the module are used all over the place. Those constants would either have to be relocated or the module stays and just the functions get deprecated. But that raises a second issue: a namedtuple is used for what os.stat() returns, making adding methods a pain. Georg did a proof-of-concept, but obviously it is cheating a little to make it all work. So my question is whether it is still worth trying to remove the module, or just leave it be. -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
