STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment:
Even if some people dislike the idea of adding datetime.datetime type, here is
a patch implementing it (it requires time_decimal-XX.patch). The patch is at
least a proof-of-concept that it is possible to change the internal structure
without touching the public API.
Example:
$ ./python
>>> import datetime, os, time
>>> open("x", "wb").close(); print(datetime.datetime.now())
2012-02-04 01:17:27.593834
>>> print(os.stat("x", timestamp=datetime.datetime).st_ctime)
>>>
2012-02-04 00:17:27.592284+00:00
>>> print(time.time(timestamp=datetime.datetime))
>>>
2012-02-04 00:18:21.329012+00:00
>>> time.clock(timestamp=datetime.datetime)
ValueError: clock has an unspecified starting point
>>> print(time.clock_gettime(time.CLOCK_REALTIME, timestamp=datetime.datetime))
2012-02-04 00:21:37.815663+00:00
>>> print(time.clock_gettime(time.CLOCK_MONOTONIC, timestamp=datetime.datetime))
ValueError: clock has an unspecified starting point
As you can see: conversion to datetime.datetime fails with ValueError('clock
has an unspecified starting point') for some functions, sometimes depending on
the function argument (clock_gettime).
