[Python-Dev] stuck issue 26826

[Guido van Rossum]

I wonder if the issue isn't that there are so many Linux syscalls that
we probably should have a process for deciding which ones are worth
supporting in the os module, and that process should not necessarily
start with a patch review. What fraction of Linux syscalls do we
currently support? What fraction of BSD syscalls? How much of this is
better served by a 3rd party module? Certainly it's not rocket science
to write a C extension module that wraps a syscall or a bunch of them.
