[issue35802] os.stat / os.lstat always present, but code checks hastattr(os, 'stat') / hasattr(os, 'lstat')

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

I suspect these conditionals are very old and came from times when we supported some platforms that did not have these APIs.

Are they present on all CPython supported platforms today?

Windows is probably the only one left to verify.

BSD/Linux/Un*xes and modern macOS are POSIX.

macOS <= 9 (classic) has long since died.
