[New-bugs-announce] [issue2874] Remove use of the stat module in the stdlib

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

The stat module is slated to go in Python 3.0, but that can't happen until 
all uses of the module are gone. This will require moving over to using 
the named tuple features of os.stat() along with adding methods to the 
object that the stat module has as functions.
