[Python-Dev] statcache.lstat?

[Guido van Rossum]

> Here's a proposed addition to PEP 4:

>     Module name:   statcache
>     Rationale:     Of limited usefulness and complicates the life of the
>                    application programmer, who must manage the cache.  Not
>                    widely used by other core libraries (they use
>                    os.stat instead). Also, it is not thread-safe.

If others on python-dev agree they can give the word.
