Sergey> posix.stat_result is CLASS, not regular tuple.
I believe it morphed from being a tuple though. I wasn't suggesting that
there is some other way to approximate records. I was trying to demonstrate
the use of a tuple as a record. It eventually became so compelling that a
new struct_time type was created. It works both like a tuple as a class.
The notion of tuples as records in Python is not new:
