[Python-Dev] stat module in C -- what to do with stat.py?

Python is providing a stat module implemented in Python since 10 years, or
maybe 20 years, and I don't remember that someone complained that constants
are wrong.

At the same time, Python distributes IN.py which contains things like that:

LONG_MAX = 9223372036854775807
LONG_MAX = 2147483647
LONG_MIN = (-LONG_MAX - 1)

In my opinion, the situation of plat-*/*.py modules is worse than stat.py
:-)
