I've looked through the CPython sources (Hg online here), but I can't seem to find where os.stat()
is defined. It looks like stat
is magically a global in the os
module (Lib/os.py, ca. line 139).
Can someone point me to the appropriate file(s)?
Looks like line 51 (for UNIX; there are similar lines for other platforms):
from posix import *
Tracing it back, we find out we reach that point through the return value of line 29:
_names = sys.builtin_module_names
And posix_stat
is defined in Modules/posixmodule.c:2301, which is ultimately called by os
:
static PyObject * posix_lstat(PyObject *self, PyObject *args, PyObject *kwargs) // ...
