Gregory P. Smith added the comment:

I missed that because i was looking for it to be called out under 2.7 os.stat() 
docs rather than under 2.7's os.stat_float_times() which is a method nobody is 
likely to read the documentation for as floats have been the default since 2.5.

The 2.7 docs are much less organized around this than the 3.x.

Adding that note in the same paragraph on 2.7's os.stat() docs would be 
sufficient.

"For backward compatibility, the return value of stat() is also accessible as a 
tuple of at least 10 integers" implies it, but doesn't explicitly call out the 
integer [ST_XXX] vs float .st_xxx difference as adding that sentence does.
