Thanks for looking at it!

Is there a better way of exposing some c-helper code for a stdlib  
module written in python?  It seems that the canonical pattern is to  
write a separate extension module called _<modulename> and import the  
functionality from there, but that seemed like a significantly more  
invasive patch.

Might it help to tack on the helper function in posix only, deleting  
it from the os namespace?

Thanks again,
