How about changing os.path.exists for posix to:
def exists(path):
return(os.access(path, os.F_OK))
I haven't done more than a few simple tests, but I believe that this would
provide similar functionality without relying on os.stat not breaking.
Plus, access is faster (on the order of 2x as fast stating a quarter
million files on my laptop).
