  I think your assessment is reasonable.  I looked at posixmodule.c
and note also that the functions use PyArg_Parse() and PyArg_NoArgs()
instead of using PyArg_ParseTuple().  The advantage of
PyArg_ParseTuple() is that the name of the function can be specified
for inclusion in TypeError messages when the arguments are not of the
right type.
  I'm doing some work to correct this now.  I've also added ctermid(), 
and will try to add at least a few more before I check in the changes.
