doc for os.stat() lacks exceptions - Skaperen - Feb-20-2021
while reading documentation for os.stat() and os.lstat() i don't see what exceptions it might raise or what errors could cause a return of None or something other than a stat_result object. the documentation just says they return a stat_result object. it can't if the file does not exist, so the documentation is clearly incomplete. where can i find documentation of all possible results of these functions?

you can find a list of os exceptions here: https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/exceptions.html#OSError
