New submission from billiejoex:

os module documentation says about lstat():

> lstat( path) 
> 
> Like stat(), but do not follow symbolic links. 
> Availability: Macintosh, Unix. 

This is not true since os.lstat() is also available under Windows
(tested under Win XP sp, Python 2.5).

Moreover, wouldn't it be better having os.lstat() available on all
platforms and turn it into an alias of os.stat on those platforms which
do not support symbolic links?
