Summary: stat documentation is incorrect

Initial Comment:
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.4/lib/module-stat.html

You no longer do this:
        mode = os.stat(file)[ST_MODE]
You instead do:
        mode = os.stat(file).st_mode

I would happily update this doc, just tell me the
correct procedure. Python has been a joy to use.

Whoops, I found out I was just wrong, there is nothing
incorrect about this documentation, sorry!

By the way: just providing the text and where to put it
would be great too!

You should first get the Python source from CVS (there's a
link in the bar above). When you've got the source, you
should look for a file called 'libstat.text' (in
dist/src/python/Doc/lib). You can update the docs for this
module in that file, create a patch and submit it back to us.

Oh, if some of the above was complete gibberish to you,
http://python.org/dev/ is also a good source.
