Hi. My 2 cents about this: (well I'm only a noob)
I had this problem; I don't know about other people's environment, but
my environment's problem was that it was actually not POSIX-compliant:
it didn't have other file functions as well, but anyway the `fstat`

It does have its own file handling functions: Opening, getting the size,
enumerating directories, etc.
It has its own limitations too. No dates supported, folders only one
level deep, maximum 99 files inside each folder, etc.
There is not a function called stat. But I am considering faking it,

I wanted to say something in the bug page petri showed (
http://bugs.python.org/issue12082 ) however I though about first
discussing it here. If faking a stat struct and a function to fill it
solves the problem, and checking for existing files and folders is the
only thing that python needs to
source code; but from what I understood it
can't be made to use alternate file handling methods.
If there is anything I should do (maybe show you my handmade
pyconfig.h?) tell me.
