Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Core (C code) Group: Python 2.6 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Christian Heimes (tiran) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Replace time_t by Py_time_t Initial Comment: In the thread "datetime module enhancements" Guido and others said that it is unpythonic to limit timestamp (seconds since Epoch) to an signed int with 32bit. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/86750 I've made a patch that introduces a new type Py_time_t as a first step to increase the size of time stamps. For now it's just an alias for time_t. typedef time_t Py_time_t; I'm proposing to change time_t in two steps: Python 2.6: Replace every occurrence of time_t by Py_time_t and give third party authors time to change their software Python 2.7 / 3000: Change Py_time_t to a signed 64bit int on all platforms and provide the necessary workaround for platforms with a 32bit time_t. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1689402&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
