Thanks for looking at it! Is there a better way of exposing some c-helper code for a stdlib module written in python? It seems that the canonical pattern is to write a separate extension module called _<modulename> and import the functionality from there, but that seemed like a significantly more invasive patch. Might it help to tack on the helper function in posix only, deleting it from the os namespace?
