It already is:

$ python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Jun  1 2015, 18:17:45)
[GCC 4.9.2] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import os
 >>> st = os.stat('python.cygport')
 >>> print(st)
posix.stat_result(st_mode=33188, st_ino=281474978441936, 
st_dev=3300977488, st_nlink=1, st_uid=197608, st_gid=197121, 
st_size=3535, st_atime=1363164377, st_mtime=1464116088, st_ctime=1464116088)
 >>> print(st.st_birthtime)
1391923515.0
