Summary: some int results that should be bool

Initial Comment:
Posting this as a SF bug since the relevant patch would 
be very small.  (I can post it as a patch if requested, 
though).

1.
cStringIO.c, line 136, IO_isatty returns PyInt_FromLong
(0), while this should be PyBool_FromLong(0).
StringIO.isatty returns False --which is <type bool>-- 
and so should cStringIO.

Note: documentation states that file-like objects not 
being real files should not define this method.  Perhaps 
it should be removed from cStringIO and StringIO.

2.
posixmodule.c, line 759, posix_access returns 
PyInt_FromLong.  It should be PyBool_FromLong.

3. (rather indifferent, this one)
svmodule.c, line 393, sv_IsVideoDisplayed should return 
a bool also.
