[New-bugs-announce] [issue45114] bad example for os.stat

Harri report at bugs.python.org

New submission from Harri <harri at afaics.de>:

The example on https://docs.python.org/3/library/stat.html should be improved to avoid endless recursion, if there is a symlink loop. I would suggest to use os.lstat instead of os.stat.
