Here is a simple explanation of Python's os.stat() output.
os.stat(path)
Example Output: (33206, 0L, 15, 1, 0, 0, 336L, 1242311596,1203706731, 1204899836)
33206 = st_mode (protection bits)
0L = st_ino (inode number)
15 = st_dev (device)
1 = st_nlink (number of hard links)
0 = st_uid (user id of owner)
0 = st_gid (group id of owner)
