> Instead of the somewhat cryptic name "winattrs", I suggest to call it st_file_attributes (...)
On Windows, os.stat() calls GetFileInformationByHandle() which fills a BY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION structure, and this structure has a dwFileAttributes attribute. The os.stat() calls also GetFileType().

So I agree that os.stat().st_file_attributes is less surprising for Windows developers and it is more homogenous with FILE_ATTRIBUTE_xxx constants. |
