>>> st = os.fstat(f.fileno())
>>> st
nt.stat_result(st_mode=33206, st_ino=5629499534396349L, st_dev=0,
st_nlink=1, st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_size=5811L, st_atime=1257365979L,
st_mtime=1257365979L, st_ctime=1252003844L)

It is pretty clear that regardless what docs we find, python itself is
storing the value as "st_ino".
