  once again, a thoroughly newbie question but what's the quickest way
to display the return type of, say, os.stat()?  i can obviously do
this in two steps:

>>> x=os.stat('/etc/passwd')
>>> type(x)

<class 'posix.stat_result'>


  i'd just like to see that os.stat() returns a posix.stat_result
object in one line.  how dumb a question is that?

=> type(os.stat('/etc/passwd'))

But reading the doc might help too:

=> help(os.stat)

  never mind, i realize now it was a dumb question since the return
type is based on the routine logic, of course.  argh.  carry on.
