The documentation for os.stat() still contains references to optional stat fields that were supported on Classic Mac OS systems but are no longer supported in Python on Mac OS X:

    On Mac OS systems, the following attributes may also be available:

    st_rsize
    st_creator
    st_type

The section should be removed.

Also, the documentation for os.name still refers to a "mac" operating system-dependent module which also no longer exists.
