   Good job!

   Long names. Make them (and other if possible) shorter. is_chardev(),
is_blockdev() or even is_blkdev(), is_symlink(). After all, it is called
is_dir(), not is_directory(), right? ;-)

   Shouldn't it be called filemode()? I see you are fond of underscores
but Python style guides discourage using them AFAIK.
