Well, code like this would break:

    def wait_for_change(filename, delay=.1):
        stamp = os.stat(filename).st_mtime
        while 1:
            time.sleep(delay)
            if os.stat(filename).st_mtime != stamp: break

Hm ... 
>>> import statcache
/usr/lib/python2.3/statcache.py:8: DeprecationWarning: The statcache module is obsolete.  Use os.stat() instead.
