    SF patch #462296: Add attributes to os.stat results; by Nick Mathewson. · 98bf58f1
    Guido van Rossum yazdı
    This is a big one, touching lots of files.  Some of the platforms
    aren't tested yet.  Briefly, this changes the return value of the
    os/posix functions stat(), fstat(), statvfs(), fstatvfs(), and the
    time functions localtime(), gmtime(), and strptime() from tuples into
    pseudo-sequences.  When accessed as a sequence, they behave exactly as
    before.  But they also have attributes like st_mtime or tm_year.  The
    stat return value, moreover, has a few platform-specific attributes
    that are not available through the sequence interface (because
    everybody expects the sequence to have a fixed length, these couldn't
    be added there).  If your platform's struct stat doesn't define
    st_blksize, st_blocks or st_rdev, they won't be accessible from Python
    either.
    
    (Still missing is a documentation update.)
